revisited

i thought it might be fun to go back and re-photograph some of my earlier photo subjects.  i've posted two images of this building.  one way back in january of 2008, and the other in march of that same year.

both of those images are quite different - the sky, the lighting, the perspective, etc.  but i also noticed that the 'farmers' sign has come down.

i'm going to keep browsing through my old photos to see if there are others that i could revisit.  let me know if you have any suggestions.

july 2008 theme day: "no . . ." signs

first of all, happy canada day to my fellow canadians out there. second, a happy theme day to all those daily photo bloggers out there. 172 other blogs are working with this theme today - can't wait to see what they all have come up with!

this photo is of the parking lot at my local 99 cents only store which apparently has a problem with shopping carts going missing and people just standing around. no - loitering, trespassing, and even shopping cart theft! in fact, this seems to be an issue all over los angeles county as you see them abandoned or in use all over the area. readers of this blog from the very beginning may recognize certain elements of this picture as appearing on this blog before (see here, here, and here).

99 cents only

loyal readers of this blog might recognize the style of photo from this one posted way back in january. taken on the same day in the same plaza, it's really no coincidence.

99 cents only stores are famous for their affordable items and the incredible amount of stores that dot the southwest, but did you also know that the most expensive photograph ever sold was taken in one of their stores? or that there is a gourmet cookbook being marketed using only items found in this store?
