Went and took a silly trip today. No Zoom classes so it was time to get out of the house, and I did. There was a big vintage camera sale in Sunland, CA, and I thought I might find something for myself. I didn't. The early arrivers had already picked the place clean, there were cameras, but not the good ones, and there was equipment, like filters, etc., but nothing I could use. Even the expired film was not desireable, so I left. Lesson learned, when you have a big camera sale advertised, especially in the Los Angeles county area, count on hoards of shoppers arriving and picking it clean. I got there at 10:30 a.m. (opening time was 8:00 a.m.), and there was nothing for me.
So, I went to north Hollywood to visit a Thai temple and then drove home. Traffic was terrible on the way home, way too many delays and trailers driving at 20 miles below the posted speed limit. I was nearing the 71 freeway when I thought, why not visit this trailhead? I might not be able to walk very far, since I had dress shoes on, but I can at least see the start of the trail. I did, and I wanted more. I identified a gnarled tree a few hundred feet away and said to myself, walk to there and back at least, and I did, skipping over many dog droppings. On the way back it was uphill, which was not fun. However, I enjoyed it and took a few photos. Here are the cellphone photos, I also took a few 4x5 black and white and also some color photos with my Fuji GW690ii.
