Northridge, California, 1994
On January 17, 1994, the earth moved under our feet.
That morning, jolted awake by the shaking, I took a second or two to determine the power of this particular movement: when you're born and raised in Southern California, you may find yourself, as I do, able to ascertain fairly quickly whether you need to hustle to safety under a doorway or if you can just roll back over and go back to sleep.
There would be no rolling over.
I stood under the doorway next to my futon (oh, the days before I could afford an actual bed...) in the pre-dawn darkness, listening as bookshelves gave way -- spilling books and potted plants and videocassettes all over the carpet in the living room -- car alarms bellowed, and the walls, floor, and ceiling of my seventy-year-old-apartment building moved from side-to-side, groaning and creaking for what seemed minutes.
When the shaking did finally stop, my first instinct was to open the door, poke my head into the hallway, and check on my neighbors. A woman down the hall was weeping and panicking, so I calmed her down by telling her the worst was over (and it was, but we'd still get a couple of strong aftershocks). Our apartment manager, Marcia, quickly checked on the tenants of all fifty units, suggesting everybody leave the building and gather in the open courtyard.
I listened to the news on the car radio, as I learned the epicenter had been in Northridge, the San Fernando Valley community adjacent to the one I'd grown up. Lots of familiar street names were mentioned; fires along Balboa Boulevard, just a couple of minutes drive from the home of my parents, freeways I often traveled buckled in sections. It took six hours, but eventually I made telephone contact with the folks, learning that everybody in our family was okay.
Almost a month after the quake, I visited some of the worst hit sites, including this parking structure on the campus of California State University, Northridge.

A multi-level parking structure stairwell. This structure probably rarely gets a second look, but it is exactly just the kind of thing I am on the lookout for while photographing in both urban and wilderness settings. Look at the beautiful color combinations, the lines, patterns and shapes. Beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
This was intended to be a test of polarizing filters on the Tokina 11 — 16 mm zoom.
Several problems cobined to void the test; however, the image is interesting.
Tokina 11-16mm DX zoom was mounted on a full frame camera.
Portrait and landscape shots were stitched together.
Part of the Fullerton Transportation Center as viewed from the topmost level of an adjacent parking structure.
It may not be as fancy as the Anaheim Regional Transportatiion Intermodal Center…
BUT… It does the exact same thing, operates at a profit and didn't cost tax payers hundreds of millions of dollars!
my camera and my feet got a workout this weekend.
it started on friday, w/ a wedding shoot. then i met up w/ karen ( pebbles ) for a long weekend of urban exploring. she came up from chicago for the weekend to see the sites in the D.
while here, we shot:
downtown fenton, (i shot engagement pics here) we shot shops too, Michigan Central Station, The Michigan Theater, The Dequindre Cut, sites along Michigan Ave, sites along Woodward, a little of Eastern Market, several abandoned warehouses and houses and buildings, downtown Royal Oak, a cemetary, The Heidelberg Project, A Fire House (w/ fireman, of course) and finally the Packard Plant. 1300 total pics for me....many more for Karen. It was a TON of fun, but I'm exhausted and she's on her 5 hour drive back to Chicago right now. ugh.

Our Cantilever structures are perfect for car dealers, car washes and the office complex. Provides great protection from the sun and bad weather.
