Art Tramp: I Love DTLA. I Hate DTLA.

Friday, July 18, 2014. I Love DTLA. I Hate DTLA. I went for a walk through J Town yesterday evening. It was cool. The soft light of sunset sweeping 1st street. Lots of 20 somethings hanging out at cool restaurants. A group of dancers in kimonos at the Japanese American Cultural Center. As with everything downtown, I get to see it, but not take part. This is not a town for old men, old dreamers, old souls. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I Love DTLA. I Hate DTLA. View my complete profile.

Art Tramp: March 2014
http://arttramp.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. The wind blows bits of paper around streets that are almost empty. Most of the steel shutters are down already as the sun has set, but occasionally a late shop keep will pull one down with a chilling rattle. It feels very " 30 Days of Night. As though the streets will soon be filed with zombie vampire mutants who can't decide if they want to eat your brains or drink your blood or just growl and scare you. It's terrifying and a little exhilarating. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Art Tramp: February 2014
http://arttramp.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 6, 2014. It's getting pretty dark out. As we talk, out of nowhere comes the horrible screeching of car tires. A van had swerved to narrowly miss a cyclists on the bridge and the noise was chilling. The van was going very fast and missed him by inches. It makes me sick to think of what could have happened. I can't imagine what it was like for the guy on the bike. Here are some of the shots I got, well worth the adventure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Monday, November 26, 2012. Amtrak Theater on the Texas Eagle. This event happened on my train ride to Texas in February of this year. It's taken me this long to recover from the shock and put down into words the unique experience that was the beginning of my trip around the US.]. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Art Tramp: December 2013

Sunday, December 8, 2013. Do Better At This. My instant reaction upon being asked for anything on the street is NO. I don't know you, I don't trust you. You are probably just scamming me for money and it's my money. I always regret feeling this way and worse acting this way. This is a bad habit I want to break. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, November 24, 2013. Lamp Posts and Surprises. Some moments catch me by surprise and those are the best. The afternoon light at the Orange train station yesterday around 2 PM was soft and warm and dramatic. Like a good woman. Without the Nikon heavy artillery I was forced to use the camera on my Droid. The results are noisy and less than stellar but worth sharing anyway. Sunday, November 17, 2013. The Bates Motel on Sunset. About 10 minutes down Sunset and I hit the jackpot. An abandoned motel ...
