The hotel was first proposed in 1906, as Oakland's business community sought to capitalize on the flow of commerce from San Francisco to Oakland following the 1906 earthquake. Many of the initial stockholders were important bankers. The hotel was initially called the Banker's Hotel due to involvement of the banking community. A banking panic in 1907 forced several major sponsors to drop out, delaying construction of the project.
Construction started in August 1910, and was completed in December 1912 at a cost of over $3,000,000. The architects were Walter Bliss (who also designed the furniture, tapestries, hangings and rugs) and William Faville, who designed the building in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The grand opening of the Hotel Oakland on December 23, 1912 was celebrated by a dinner and ball with 1,150 invited guests, including Mayor Davie and much of the East Bay's social, financial and industrial elite.
During the 1930s, the hotel was forced into bankruptcy several times as the result of the depression and management difficulties. In 1943, the War Department took possession of the hotel for use as a U.S. Army hospital known as Oakland Area Station Hospital. All furnishings were auctioned off, including irreplaceable chandeliers of which only photographs remain. Following World War II, the Veterans Administration operated a hospital in the building until August of 1963.
Following the VA's use of the facility, several unsuccessful attempts were made to reopen the hotel for public use. For the next 15 years it stood vacant. Finally, in 1978 a Boston-based developer obtained possession and remodeled it into a housing project for the elderly. It remains in this use today."
I was sent out yesterday to shoot some interiors of a newly remodeled hotel out in Long Beach...Hotel Current. I learned so much in one day...like how fast a day goes by.
These are 3 of the shots I pulled out late last night to show you (this is not a print piece or final edits). I was glad I had my flash in my bag. Initially I thought I would just use natural light, but strobism got the better of me. All 3 were lit with one flash in 43" shoot thru umbrella balanced with the natural and ambient light.
If you haven't noticed the Canon 5d has made a debut on my stream. About an hour into the shoot the D3 battery died (my bad). So we called down to a shop to see how much a battery charger was...$180!!! Well luckily Shannen was with me with her 5D. So a lens rental later and we were back in business!

At the Holiday Inn
Carrow road
Norwich
Our room was the door on the right.
I’m impressed with the Holiday Inn. Everything about it is smart.
The brickwork through the window at the end of the corridor is part of the football stadium. I walked up to the window, and by looking left I could see the football pitch.
We were on the first floor (that’s 2nd floor to Americans).
After the match it took only a few minutes to get back to the hotel. The bar was full of Norwich City fans, so many of them must stay there on match days… the bar wasn’t open to the public.
Me and my mate enjoyed a pint or two in the bar (mine was Guinness, of course 😂) proudly displaying our colours.
We then went into town to meet up with our wives.
A great weekend was had by all !

Lots of interesting things to see and take photos of.
Wish I had. This is the only one of the "junky" backyard. Will have to go back one day.

A Pinhole project between July and December 2019. I have stayed in hotels once or twice a week, most Months, for 30 years and in December it comes to an end.
I am attempting to show visually how I feel about this, absent from my family, frustrated, often bored.
The pinhole camera and the way it captures time is a perfect vehicle.

Originally built between 1827 and 1829 as a one floor Spanish colonial style home for cattle rancher Don Juan Bandini. In the 1850s Bandini sold his home, and by 1869 it was restored and extended with a second floor into a stagecoach stop and hotel.

First built in 1854 to serve gold-miners, the Shamrock has undergone a number of transformations over its lifetime. Completely rebuilt in 1864, in the Victorian Regency architecture style, the Shamrock had become the main hotel in the town and was the accommodation of choice of visiting dignitaries to the valley's goldfields district. In 1897 the hotel was once again completely rebuilt including a fifth floor and the addition of Victorian Filigree-styled iron lacework verandah. Under threat of demolition in the 1970's the State Government purchased the hotel and nominated it to be of heritage status. A major restoration project was completed in 1981. Among its high-profile guests were Prince Charles and Princes Diana during their Royal visit in 1983.
The Adler Hotel Ruins
The Adler Hotel, also known as the Hotel Adler, was a 150-room, five-story hotel in Sharon Springs, New York, that operated from 1929 until 2004. Known for its therapeutic sulfur spa, it catered primarily to a Jewish clientele who travelled to Sharon Springs in the summers. It was kosher, with two kitchens. It was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and was adjacent to the Pavilion Hotel (demolished in 1941), which had been a summer destination for guests such as the Vanderbilts, Rensselaers, and Oscar Wilde. Ed Koch worked as a busboy at the Adler Hotel in 1946. When Steven Spielberg was preparing for Schindler's List, he interviewed survivors staying at the hotel.

I liked the light, and the Metropole Hotel sign. It reminds me of old film footage I saw (someone posted it on YouTube) that was taken from the front of several different streetcars as they travelled around the city circa 1910 or maybe earlier. In one sequence the streetcar went past the Metropole hotel at its original location across the street from where it is in this shot. The signs look similar. That sat well with me for some reason. BTW, it isn't a good hotel anymore, if it was back in the day. All the old hotels in this area have been converted into single room occupancy, "affordable housing" for those living below the poverty line.
