on broadway, 2005
today’s exercise in misdirected energy was walking up and down broadway and taking a picture of every building (and parking lot).
it took less than two hours to take all of the pictures — and over six to get them all uploaded to flickr. i didn’t retouch (other than rotate) any of them, and i uploaded every one i took: 231 pictures.
they aren’t all of buildings and parking lots — there’s a few shots of some people in action. a paletero walking by the los angeles times building, a riding vacuum cleaner also outside the los angeles times building, a three card monte game, and a shell game.
the last few pictures are out of sequence because i screwed up adding them to the flickr set. i wish iphoto and flickr were more seamlessly integrated, and the iphoto interface for adding titles and comments to pictures wasn’t so lame. i guess i should play with flickrexport.
some of the buildings aren’t labeled as well as they could be. i need a handier resource for looking up the names of buildings in downtown.
the plan, unless it changes, is to do the same thing for main and spring streets (and maybe hill). and then keep doing it every year.
Hey Jim, Nic here from Niche.LA and Gallery Row Organization. We're in the process of revamping our GRO website and I was wondering if we could get your permission to use your photos of Main and Spring St on our website once you're done. I would love to get photos of all the galleries in Gallery Row and include them with contact info on our website.
Thanks! Nic
