LA Gotham City, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

I was strolling along Broadway in Downtown LA when I was struck by a bright light. It turned out to be some huge flood light attached to a crane illuminating a scene for the new Batman movie.

Hi Daniel,
I love this kind of light, the dynamic contrasts, I often like to shoot with this in style in mind. It reminds me somewhat of Daido Moriyama, the light, the depth, the darkness.
Cheers
Justin

Hi Daniel!

Exquisite B&W scene, it really works well with the photo! It adds this mysterious feel and vintage effect which I really liked. Excellent framing and composition and very nice leading lines.

All the best,
Matt

Guten Tag Daniel,

Wunderbar 'Noir LaLa Land' scene, for fine resolution and dramatic black/white contrast, and almost appearing as if from the 40s.

I worked one street over on Spring St. & 2nd, for the Calif Dept. of Transportation and spent many a lunchtime strolling downtown LA, etc...

Thanks for a memory from my youth,
Sincerely,
Ray
