Conjured Questions on Reality

Frankly, I was in California quite a while ago {too long ago in fact} but I took all these photos, and I was so excited to post them . . . and then I didn't.

What I love about how these images were captured on my camera revolves around ideas regarding perceptions and realities and circumstance.



   
I pointed the camera at real, living {well-not always} and tangible things, but with motion and the lack of light, the image that I really got was very different from that initial reality. And yet these pictures are real in and of themselves. But still, they're not real . . . right. Is reality determined by what we know, what we can define or point to in "reality?" Hmmmmm, I don't know, just entertaining myself by conjuring questions. Nonetheless, I liked them.

Ok, I'm going to make this a guessing game for myself - Is the one with the red pavillion taken on myrtle? and the tunnel the tunnel by the 5 entrance / dodger stadium? Oh this is making me miss LA!

They're all in LA, so no on the myrtle guess, but the tunnel is right on!
