In the upcoming weeks, I shall be posting some of my shots taken this past weekend whilst exploring the base In 1927, an airport was built upon the manmade island of Alameda, CA, which lies east of San Francisco, just across the bay. In 1936 Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the land from the city for the purchase price of $1.00. The area was constructed to be one of the worlds largest and most complete Naval Air Stations. Since it's official closure in 1997, Alameda Point, has been used for television and motion picture filming, the USS Hornet Naval ship museum, various businesses (from bicycle repair shops to wineries, distilleries, and a gym which houses an indoor soccer field). All of this industry, and the land still maintains an overwhelming post-apocalyptic feel. It is ripe for photographers and explorers all the same Photo Details: Shot with Hipstamatic using Foxy lens + Cano Cafenol film. No edits. Foxy is an incredibly warm and lush lens, it was ideal for shooting the decaying blue and yellow color palette of the base. I chose Cano for several of these shots because of the moody aged filter that it lends to colorful scenarios and of course its uneven border which allows the image to bleed through. #punkrawkpurl_AlamedaPoint #punkrawkpurl_ampt #purehipstamatic #Foxy #CanoCafenol #Alameda #igerseastbay Advanced Mobile Photography Team- AMPt
