Who wants to shoot in LA?

[dphotoguy]

Anyone interested in joining me in downtown LA for a day of street shooting? I'm talking about the heart of downtown...Grand Central Market, Jewelry District, Flower District, Garment District. I've been down there several times, and there's a whole lot to shoot. The problem is, the area is not a good place to go by yourself with a camera. Call me chicken shit, I love shooting down there but I always feel threatened. So I figure, if I could get atleast one person to shoot with me than we could watch each others back. Anyone interested? Weekends are the best cause that's when all the people come out and shop down there.

Who wants to shoot in L.A.?

Sure, I'd be interested. We should get xscapekey (Russ) in on it too. We live in the same town.

Sundays would be best for me, but I could pull a Saturday too.

I'd love to join the expedition either Sat or Sun. I live in Encino, usually take Metro Red Line from North Hollywood so I don't have to worry about parking downtown.

Shoot L.A.

Shoot L.A.

Hey dlp, I'm in Long Beach, so xscapekey can ride with me unless we do the Blue Line train (which would be far more fun)...

Why not select a date a few weeks from now?

Can I join in? I live in Woodland Hills, taking the train downtown is a great idea.

 

[xcapekey]

is sunday busy down there or is that when everything is closed up? i'd love to shoot that historic arcade building down there...indoor promenade with two rows of merchants...i believe it's around broadway...

 

[parks5920]

The area around Union Station is pretty cool, there is that out door market too.

No thanks. I was in L.A. in about 1992 and thought some locals were going to "shoot" me on the Anaheim Freeway🙂

LA shooty shoot

xcapekey has a point, I have no idea what it's like on Sundays aside from DP's comment on churches getting out..... Looks like we have five shooters so far (LA, LB, Encino, Woodland Hills?)...the more the merrier....! Great call dphoto...

Santa Monica Pier is always an interesting place, I don't think I have any scheduling issues other than June 18 & 19, I think. I'd better check with the wife/gate keeper.
