Found some more photos taken with my old ROLLEI ROLLIFLEX 35 MM SLR of the '92 L. A. Riots, laying in a box. I can kick myself that I didn't sneak a few shots with my camera while the mayhem was going on. I was busy ducking and dodging and running red lights to avoid trouble. Almost all the pictures you see were taken on the third day of the riots when the authorities started to gain control.
I tip my hat to the journalist that were in the thick of it, they got some fantastic shots.

The iconic building, completed in 1928, stands as a classic example of Art Deco architecture. It has been featured in countless movie and television shows, most famously in the show Dragnet.
It is still in use today, housing the offices for the Mayor and the powerful Los Angeles City Council.
Burden had Metropolis II's cars specially manufactured in China to his custom specifications — unlike Metropolis I, which just used off-the-shelf Hot Wheels toys. "The original toy cars have very thin axles that wear out too fast," says Burden. Given that Metropolis II is supposed to run three days a week for the next 10 years, how will it avoid the "wearing out" problem? Burden's no-nonsense answer: "We made a lot of cars."

April 29, 1986, fire tore through Los Angeles' Central Library — more than one million books were damaged or destroyed. My mom who once worked there while attending UCLA back in the 50s volunteered with many other people to help bring back from the ashes as many books and donate books as restoration of the library began.
Out of that came a joint venture L.A. Public Library /Security Pacific Historical Photography Collection. AKA "Shades of L.A. Photo Collection"
Shades of L.A. is an archive of photographs representing the contemporary and historic diversity of families in Los Angeles. Images were chosen from family albums and include daily life, social organizations, work, personal and holiday celebrations, and migration and immigration activities. Made possible and accessible through the generous support of the Security Pacific National Bank, Sunlaw Cogeneration Partners, Photo Friends, California Council for the Humanities, the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, and the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation.
My mom along with many other Angelenos contributed many pictures of L.A. back in the day, and those photos were copied and or donated and archived for L.A. history. When the Library reopened there was a L.A. Photo history show. All the photos were fantastic but only the best ones made it in the book published in 1996 "Shades of L.A."

The word is someone has a deathwish and shot at a patroling L. A. County Sheriff's car off of Crenshaw on some side street. Don't know the rest of the story. LAPD & L.A. Unified School Dist. Police gave back up.
Hokey looking set up with headers comin' out the rear quarter panels, have no idea what the Nos bottle is doing up there on the trunk lid, maybe it's functional or for decoration, like sprinkles on a cup cake. Kind of has that Hollywood Mad Max meets Fast & Furious feel about it.
Car appears to have flame thrower mechanism going to the pipes.
Down by the 6th Street Bridge construction in East L.A.
While in my back yard helping my handyman with some work he was doing I heard a lot of cars blowing their horns right before the crash but when my air compressor came on little did I know that was the moment of impact. The driver of a white Ford van going north on the south bound side of Crenshaw Blvd. struck 2 cars with the Lincoln and it’s occupants receiving the brunt of the force from the collision. The couple that were in the Lincoln had to be freed from their vehicle with the Jaws of Life by the L.A.F.D. The crash which took place around 2:25p.m.Tuse. 9/30/15 at the intersection of 54th street & Crenshaw blvd in the Angeles Mesa area near Leimert Park of South L.A. The driver of the gray Cadillac was uninjured and the driver of the van and driver and passenger of the Lincoln are reported to be in critical condition per NBC News. The investigation was reported as still on going to determine why the van was traveling the wrong way.

"We want to be free... Free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man!" It started out with old classics and lowriders and Harleys converging on the bridge and a car show broke out. Then some knuckle head brought unnecessary attention to the whole thing by lighting a smoke canister / bomb. From the distance I guess it looked as if some one was doing a burn out. The L.A.P.D. comes and breaks up the show. But as the photos prove the SHOW still went on.... UNDER THE BRIDGE.

City Hall was built in 1928 and at 452 feet tall (137 meters) was the first high-rise in southern California. It remained the tallest building in Los Angeles until 1964. One of the most famous icons of Los Angeles with its distinctive ziggurat on top, it has been seen in many movies and TV programs, most notably Dragnet and the original 1950's Superman where it played the part of the Daily Planet building.
(Cops took over)Well the show is over and everybody took off. Some went to cruise nite meet and greets others went on home or to grab late nite grub.
While out and about racing up and down the streets of L.A. running my errands, I crossed paths with a movie set crew a couple of times on Angeles Vista Blvd in the View Park / Windsor Hills area while headed back to my domicile in the Diablo Mesa dark side of town. I popped off some photos and did a little of the- "get outta here you don't belong"- snooping around.
