The H&M at the Americana had a cool set-up on display upon entering the store. Just thought I'd take a photo...
Holiday Decorations at the Americana, Glendale, California, USA
The holiday season is just around the corner and the Americana has begun its decorating. These ornaments and wreath hung from a lightpost. Behind it is the intricately designed elevator taking visitors to the different levels of parking. Can't wait for the holidays to come!
Hand Cut Frites, Cafe Gutenberg, Richmond, Virginia, USA
I must admit, I have an addiction to fries in all shapes and forms. After arriving in Richmond, we went in search for food and ended up at the Cafe Gutenberg. I saw these on the menu and just had to order them. They were the hand cut frites with herbs, parmesan and truffle honey. Wow, they were just a perfect level of crispiness and were covered in all kinds of goodness! Oh, how I love good food!
Tiffany Hoang, Venice High School, Los Angeles, California, USA
At Venice High School, the school made famous for Grease, we walked around and spotted rows of blue, rusted lockers towards the front of campus. This is my cousin, Tiffany, who agreed to be my model for the high school locker shot! Thanks Tiffany! :)
Doorway, Norfolk, Virginia
I did a photo series on doors while walking through the quaint housing community in Norfolk. Each door was a different color and different design. This door in particular was a wooden door behind a layer of glass. As a took this photo, conveniently, a bus full of school children drove by and made it into the photo.
My Photo Featured as Photo of the Day on discoverlosangeles.com, Official Guide to Los Angeles!
Exciting! Within a few weeks of each other, two of my photos were chosen as a photo of the day on discoverlosangeles.com, the Official Guide to Los Angeles sponsored by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau - today, November 10th and October 27th. I go to the website often, so it was cool/weird seeing my picture as the photo of the day! It's the little things like this that have made my day, especially because a large amount of my photos are of sights around LA. I enjoy looking for new places around the greater LA area to photograph and show to the world. The one for today was of the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro and the one on October 27th was of Film Strip USA in Culver City, both which I've posted on my photo diary previously.
Photos of the day can be seen here: http://discoverlosangeles.com/play/photo-of-the-day.jsp
The discoverLA facebook page also posts the photo, with comments, "likes" and all: http://www.facebook.com/losangelesfan
Red Bow, Fayetteville Street, Downtown, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
These wreaths adorned with large bright red bows were in the process of being put onto the light posts in downtown Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina. From the capital building, we walked along the wide Fayetteville Street, one of the main streets downtown. Its November and that means the holiday and winter season is just around the corner!
Seagull in Flight, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
We walked along the waterfront of Norfolk and I came across a white seagull perched on this wooden block. Of course, as I approached, the seagull took flight and this is the photo I was able to take!
Autumn Leaves, Tree-Lined Walkways, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA
At over 8,000 acres, strolling through Duke University was an adventure. Surprisingly warm weather greeted us. Gothic buildings define the campus and just stepping a short way from the dorms were tree-lined walkways like this one. Leaves were scattered on the concrete and the trees were a multitude of vibrant colors. I know about Duke most because of my familiarity with college basketball, so I had no idea of how the campus would look. I must say, the architecture throughout campus was beautiful and the areas surrounding campus were expansive woods filled with trees of all colors.
USS Wisconsin, Nauticus, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
Norfolk, Virginia is home to the world's largest naval base and its history lies in being a strategic military and transportation site. This is the USS Wisconsin - the second Navy ship to be named after the state of Wisconsin. Built in Philadelphia, the ship was launched on December 7, 1943. She has served during World War II, the Korean War and Operation Desert Storm and is now on display at Nauticus, the National Maritime Center. As we walked along the Cannonball route through Norfolk after breakfast, we passed by this massive ship. The moon can still be seen faintly in the sky as well. The streets of Norfolk are lined with cute houses and apartments, along with buildings built years and years ago - a true mixture of old and new.
