These Wanderings

These wanderings on earth only last a few years, a one way trip through time. These days, I find myself with a camera, revisiting places i've seen before.

The downtown L.A. skyline in 1951, 1979 and 2014. Our image specialist Scott Harrison found the unpublished 1979 negative and decided to match it from the same spot: the top of City Hall. He added a photo from 1951 for comparison.

“Also of interest,” he writes, “the 1951 photo was shot on 4 x 5 sheet film, the 1979 photo on 35 mm film and the current photo on an iPhone.”

Sure, it’s a strange looking car, but the amazing thing is that I know where this picture was taken. It’s under the now gone 6th St. Viaduct in Los Angeles.
