First time to the Texas area. I had good weather in between the mammoth flooding I just seemed to miss. Sort of a whirlwind tour from Dallas --> Austin --> San Antonio --> Houston --> Galveston --> Huntsville --> Dallas. Saw 2 Army buddies from 35 years ago, and my dad for first time in 50 years. Yay. The Alamo church had a bit of construction scaffolding and blue plastic :-( Guard lady said I could not take a shot of this building (in plain view from the freeway, and no for the waterfall wall just down the path (cellphone OK, "real" camera not.) I went on the ship, too. OK, so I was kind of tuckered out when I got to the space center and did not look at my notes - so I missed the big pointy rocket things in another area... Galveston. Train museum. There were about a dozen of these sculptures, which I liked better than the trains. I also did the airplane museum. I was the draftsman/tech in the office of a small oil business in the 80s-90s. There is a self-guided tour map online of this carved-stump historic neighborhood. Big flood killed the trees. A submarine and ship at a park next to the bay. 1940's terminal museum. "Cardinal Egan" at the funeral museum which was awesome.
there are some really fun pics there, and pics 1 and 4 are breathtaking. did you post process number 4 at all? and wow, you got to catch up with your dad and buddy you hadn't seen in 35 years! how cool is that?
I shoot raw, so I process everything. I don't recall anything special about it though. Thanks for the comment. Here are a few more. Across from the Nasser museum in Dallas. Rotunda at the capitol in Austin. San Antonio. Torch of Friendship. River walk. Galveston. Lone Star airplane museum. Diorama of the Lady Be Good crash site. The LBG overflew its base in the middle of the night when returning from its first mission, and eventually the crew bailed out over the Sahara desert. The remains of the plane in almost-pristine condition, and subsequently most of the bodies, were found many years later. The train museum. A house in the Galveston historic district. The bait shop at the Sea Wolf park pier. Big League baseball park in League City. In Houston. Air terminal museum. Miro sculpture on the way to the observation floor..
that happened to me at a regular older office building in hollywood where we used to rent studio space. there was nothing special or confidential about it, but the building owner had a security guard who was also supposed to keep people from photographing the building - honestly i couldn't imagine why.
It's their power-trip. I was on the sidewalk at the Sony building in Culver City - guard hassled me. Here is from across the street. Also UCB bank (tallest building in Los Angeles) - on a national holiday when they are closed - same thing. Here is from a few miles away
