I haven't been in a snappy (as in pictures) mood lately. But I feel remiss if I"m not blogging with a few photos so I dug into the 2008 archive tonite.
I went downtown to the railroad tracks in the fall with my friend and we shot the trains, the tracks, the graffiti. We stood on the tracks like idiots thinking we'd get "the shot".
We got some damn impressive very average shots. Very average.
On the way back I decided to drive by the Walt Disney Hall - always a cool place to stare and wonder. You might wonder what crack pipe Frank Gehry was smoking when he dreamed this place up. Or you might wonder how they made it so shiny.
I was there when they were building it. And I was there when they were putting the shiny skin on the wild, skewed beams. Back then I had a thing for construction sites - I still do-- and this one was so Dr. Seuss. Crazy angles, impossibly curved girder beams, shiny metal.
These guys were the happiest workers. Posing for us and smiling and all around good guys. Imagine that!
So we spent some time taking pictures of the shiny metal. I hadn't looked at them since. Forgot about them. But the shiny metal is really beautiful and I thought you should see it.
