unyielding stone beneath worn down bone protective cape, a ragged drape shoulders stooped and sagging reflective eyes, wherein memory lies of many tries, of failed ties self-made walls, treasured halls the daily shift, that load to lift cannot stay, don’t care to pray must get through another day endurance, her insurance. This week’s Photo Challenge theme is Endurance, which I’ve interpreted as the plight of the […]

Do you ever find certain colors seem to pop, and you start noticing everywhere? Bright yellow was my pop color recently. Not that it’s an easily ignored color, but I found it interesting that I began noticing yellow as I made my way around Los Angeles. Just small touches of bright yellow or neon yellow spread about. This gallery […]

It’s not uncommon to see film crews around Southern California, but it’s always extra fun to see them in action! The photos in this gallery were taken in downtown Los Angeles recently. I’m always amazed at the large amount of equipment and people required for shooting an individual scene. And, who knows if all that work […]

Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles is today’s Foto Fix subject. Taken in the late afternoon with my camera set on dark tones, this amazing display of architecture took on an even more splendid appearance. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) To our followers: sorry to be absent for the past days. Kat and I moved again, after just three […]

Our entry into this week’s challenge, Split Second Story, shows the moment before a new street sign was lifted and bolted into place, making a left or U-turn illegal at 6th Street in downtown Los Angeles. A person driving the area regularly may be caught unaware by this new sign posting, particularly if said person missed […]

Today being Memorial Day in the United States, a day to honor our troops from past and present, I chose this photo of “HOPE” taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. Interpretation is personal as well as universal. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

(8 photos) Wherever I go, I seek out cool reflections. Light playing on objects and recreating an image is something I find fascinating. While in downtown Los Angeles recently, I captured the ones in this gallery. Personal favorites are the musician playing at USC, wearing those fabulous retro shades (throw-back to my era!), and the bicycle […]

The gallery included here continues the photography walking tour I did recently on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, as started in part 1. I won’t write anything, rather, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I think they tell quite a story. Be sure to click on a photo to open the gallery. Thanks for joining […]

Scanning the downtown L.A. skyline while standing atop Bunker Hill last Saturday, near the upper landing of Angel’s Flight, the scene below caught my eye. Oh! People on a rooftop with two large white balloons. Interesting…must get a closer look…Ah-ha! It must be a photo shoot. I zoomed in, feeling somewhat like an intruder to an […]

Today’s Foto Fix is a trio taken in an industrial section along the east side of downtown Los Angeles. Feel like you’re being watched?! ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)  

MacArthur/Westlake Park is one of L.A.’s oldest parks. Originally an unappreciated swamp used as a city dump, L.A.’s mayor during the late 1800s, William Workman, proposed to have the “swamp” converted into a city park. MacArthur/Westlake Park opened to the public in 1890. (For more history on the park, read the following article by Nathan […]

Many parts of the U.S. and certainly other parts of the world, people take the train. Everyday. To work, to shop, holidays. They ride the train. But in car-crazy Southern California, it’s a limited number of people taking the train. L.A.’s spread out, not bunched up like other cities. If a person lives near a […]

French Dip sandwiches at Philippe’s are the best. I’ve been going to Philippe’s in downtown Los Angeles since I was a little kid, and it hasn’t changed (thankfully, it hasn’t changed!). My memories were refreshed this past weekend when I walked over from Olvera Street for lunch. Yup, it’s just as I remembered… wood shavings […]

This large wall art adorns a building in downtown Los Angeles. I was totally fascinated by it and wish I knew artist’s name. Pic by SueBee.
