Three People and Windows – The Getty Museum

January 20, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Black and white photograph of three people and a large window with cloudy and rainy weather beyond at the the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

Another photograph created more or less by finding a place with an interesting architectural composition and then waiting for the right people to wander into the frame and assemble themselves into interesting positions…

Man Walking, Rain – Getty Center

January 18, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Black and white photograph of a man walking at the Getty Center on a rainy and foggy day.

This is another photograph from my late-December visit to the Getty in Los Angeles. To recap… it rained. And it was foggy. Both of which I like.

I found this spot with many vertical forms of columns, windows and so forth along with their reflections on the rain-dampened sidewalk/floor. I found a composition I liked… and then I waited as individuals and groups of people crossed this space.

Yellow Building For Lease

January 16, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

A yellow light industrial building with black windows with a red and white “For Lease” sign, San Jose, California.

Number 3 in the News Day photo-walk series, and this one is perhaps the brightest and most intensely colored of the bunch. This light industrial building has apparently been deserted for a while and it is currently for lease. This bright yellow corrugated metal structure is right across the street from the intense green building from which the previous-posted photography came.

Green Wall

January 15, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Green wall with green door and window in an urban industrial area of San Jose, California.

This is another urban landscape from my New Years Day walk and shoot. This photograph and the one that follows (a yellow building with a “For Lease” sign) are almost directly across the street from one another – a colorful bit of industrial neighborhood for sure! Despite the weathered and repainted character of this detail, the overall building is actually in decent shape. There is something mysterious about it though with the green color(s) and the boarded up windows and the door with no handle.
