After lunch we went out and wandered around Olivera Street -- but I had my Ikon out and was shooting film.

Back into the station for this shot up a platform tunnel, then a quick ride to Central Market. Tomorrow...

…behind the ubiquitous velvet ropes.

We decided to grab lunch at the restaurant, Traxx. And, of course, check to se what we'd shot.

Resuming the photo walk - still at Union Station.

More tomorrow….

When we arrived in L.A. in the 70's, this room was packed. Now it's roped off and used for events and filming. My son saw Beck here recently.

Resuming the photo walk…

This is a dull shot - but it sets the location. I find all of the velvet ropes kind of funny.

…. got exactly what I wanted.

More tomorrow.

I heard some kids shouting and running down one of the platform tunnels. My camera was slung over my head and shoulder and it took some time to get it up. Missed shot… but I moved to the other side of the stairway and...

There was a Hanzi reader in front of us on the train. I was only able to read the page numbers.

This image works better in B&W - but, what the hey, it's Minnie.

This image was just too busy in color. The extended title would be: Woman Flirts with Lord Vader, Family horrified, Frodo Lives.

This is the beginning of a photo walk I took with my son. We started at Hollywood & Highland -- then took the train downtown.
