Still my favorite place to shoot. Whether on my own or doing portraits. There's just something unspoiled about a place that's just beginning to be discovered.
There's a difference between undiscovered and "we know it's here, but we still find it one of the least valued places in the area, fit for sewage treatment plants, an outdated arena, animal shows, UPS processing, and a prison release center." But, wait — there's also a winery! And the memories I have with mi esposo who lived there while we were not married … and the memories of galleries gone with the winds of change.
Keep it under your hat about the West Bottoms! The last thing we need down here is a bunch of Beemer-driving squishy suburbanites wandering around. Stay in the Crossroads! The West Bottoms is a DANGEROUS place!
you have such a good eye. I love your work and discovering your shots. between that eye and your camera--I love your wide angle shots--you really come up with shome great stuff. I'll keep watching.
there's nothing dangerous about the West Bottoms except the Pigeons there is NO ONE down there at night it's like a ghost town The area was KC's original downtown you know...
I'd be scared to be there!
ReplyDeleteNah... it's safe. No ones down there after dark... and not too many during the day.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Catherine Opie was wandering around Chicago 2 years ago, taking some great night time shots for an exhibit.
Very nice.
Catherine is just about as eclectic as I am in subject matter....
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd be walking around there by myself at night...
ReplyDeleteActually Chuong... I'm probably safer walking around down there then I am in my own hood! :)
