After spending a lot of time in Montréal and Las Vegas for the Quebec Deluxe and Lapse Vegasphotography projects, we are back in Los Angeles to continue with our most ambitious adventure, which is building the largest LA timelapse photography archive ever created.
Downtown LA has experienced a lot of new constructions and building renovations between 2012 and 2016. I’m waiting for all major projects to be completed before I work on new photo sequences to capture the skyline again. In the meantime here are some photos I took with my phone.
This iconic bridge built in 1932 and considered a monument in Los Angeles is no longer part of the LA landscape. The steel arches and concrete have been suffering “the test of time” and therefore the viaduct has been demolished.
There are usually dozens of 4th of July celebrations organized in Los Angeles every year so I drove to Mount Wilson to capture the fireworks from a panoramic perspective. The wind was slow. There was practically no wind, so the smoke clouds caused by the fireworks look dense in the photographs.
There is so much history in this area of Los Angeles that you wouldn’t believe it! Both Santa Monica and Venice Beach have been used as the set for many TV shows and feature films including “Cobra” (1986), “Pacific Blue” (1996-2000), “Point of No Return” (1993), and “The Net (1995)” just to name a few.
One of the most expected films of 2016 is finally here: The newest chapter of Captain America.
Marvel fans consider this production as an Avengers movie, however actor Chris Evans has said: “Even though there are a lot characters, the focus is on Steve and his struggle. Especially his struggle with Tony Stark…”
Today is the first day of the demolition of the legendary and iconic Sixth Street Viaduct which connects the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles with the Boyle Heights neighborhood in East LA.
This video includes photo sequences from the Hollywood Boulevard, the Sunset Strip and the Hollywood Hills but we also included the Hollywood Tower, which was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1988. Each one of the areas came with its own set of difficulties.
