Waiting In The Past

2007.09.22










These are some random shots from Union Station. I was going to post the color and b&w in separate posts but I thought it would be good to mix it up. Since Union Station is one of those rare birds - a historical place that's still a buzz of activity.

Except that I'm not showing any of the activity. It's more the bits & pieces of Union Station that I find fascinating and beautiful. It's a good place to spend some time just looking...up, down, all around...at the color, at the light, into the past.

vollenda Thanks!

Union Station is in Los Angeles. It's the meeting point for all the trains in Southern California.

Carley I agree....Union Station is a great place to look all around and to just be. You have captured it perfectly!! (How did you get the photos to join together?)

kangshung What a magnificent old station - so glad they haven't 'updated' it! The light in these is sensational - especially #5. Do you shoot the b&w shots in b&w, or do you convert colour to b&w?

Jannie Wow! You did a great job of capturing this beautiful old train station! Awesome!! I really love the mix of color & B&W. I spent some time there a few years ago traveling from No Calif to New Mexico. Fun 2 day trip all along the California coast & the American Southwest. I want to go again!!

emmetan 1 and 3 are very nice.... well done

chipotle the story of the union pacific and the southern pacific railways is pretty fascinating to me. all that track and all those grand old stations, built on some weird mix of avarice, hubris and dreams.

what a grand station. design mattered. your shots show why.
