LA's Architecture - Part 2Remember to click on an image to see a larger version!
The next two images are taken on the Northeast corner of the Disney Hall. In all the times I've photographed the Disney Hall, I've never managed to capture images of this "entrance." Lately, I seem to be including the Sun into a lot of my images.
If you exit the Disney Hall and turn right, you will be heading south and that's the direction I took. I crossed the street to go to the complex that houses MOCA (the Museum of Contemporary Art) and saw this shot of a new art museum called "The Broad" under construction. I was struck by the patterns and color of the scaffolding surrounding the building.
Which of those two images do you prefer? They are the same shot but I cropped the second image to eliminate the red signs hanging from the temporary fences. Those signs, as small as they are, provide a hint to the viewer about the image. After stopping at MOCA for an ice tea (damn, it was hot), we proceeded to the Water Court Plaza (next door) where I took the following two shots. I used to work across the street from them, and oversaw their construction from the 23rd floor. There's a great story about the construction but its much too long to tell in this blog.
The last shot is my favorite of the afternoon. It was taken with my wide angle zoom lens at 16mm. The clouds were added later in Photoshop. Did I mention that it was hot? It was time to bug-out and head to LA's harbor for slightly cooler surroundings! Bye for now, adam
P.S. For those of you who are too young to remember or from a foreign country, "Bug-out" is slang for run away.
