LAFD fire pictures...

[Dylan King]

Hello friends,

Here are some amazing pictures I took when the furniture factory two buildings from my studio burnt to the ground. I didn't have any damage other than dust problems from the smoke. The LAFD did a fantastic job of keeping the fire from spreading. It took about six hours to put it out. A TV production studio is next door and they sustained only minor damage. Without the effort of at least 18 trucks, it could have been much worse.

I took hundreds of pictures from my front windows and back porch, which is on the second floor. I also went down into the street and got some good shots. I thought I would share a few of these with you.

These guys have been working extra hard the last few days with all of this water. May God bless them all.

L.A.'s finest at work. Enjoy.



















































God bless America.

Interesting use of sepia and B/W shots in there. Niot many would bother trying these days.

Glad you came out unaffected.

Yeah, glad you're ok. I happen to like the starkness of the b&w/sepia pics. Adds a whole other dimension to photography.

I'm a big fan b&w work. I even had some (color) snapshots of my son printed b&w. Difficult to find a place to do that now. I saw a new b&w film a few dayas ago, it used the same development process as color, so all the 1hr places can handle it. Perhaps it's making a come back? Since my camera has a b&w setting, i use it. printying b&w photos is cheaper than color on most printers too

Never cared much for sepia but my camera supports it too. Both the b&w and sepia settings on the camera look better that conversions in Photoshop or PhotoPaint (Corel).

Take a second look at that one and you might even spot a well-known religious symbol.

Better put it on e-bay quick....before someone else does
