Los Angeles Scavenger Hunt
I’m participating in a “local” photo scavenger hunt being hosted by Nicole.
In that vein, I’m going to share this “teaser” post to give everyone a flavor of the interesting, and the unique places and neighborhoods that I’ve recently visited, and will be sharing more in the next week or so.
Right now, you’ll notice a few empty spots, but have no fear. As the days progress, you’ll see each category full. Until then—enjoy the preview:
1. Local currency (Coming soon)
2. Local flag (Coming soon)
3. Local food
4. Something rusty
5. Local wildlife
6. Local nature
7. Local stamp
8. Part of your neighborhood (it can be a very small part)
9. Traditional house
10. A local person
11. Local weather
12. Local transportation
13. Traditional local clothing
14. Night sky (Coming soon)
15. Sunrise
16. Local product non-food (Coming soon)
17. Something furry
18. Something feathery
19. A sign of the season (Coming soon)
20. A part of you (Coming soon)
21. Your main hobby
22. A local shop (Coming soon)
23. A local restaurant
24. A street sign (Coming soon)
25. A local mail box
As you can see, Los Angeles has a large, varied local landscape, full of characters, sites, sounds, and so much more.

Lisa!
Because I am familiar with the culture and areas you photograph, it makes it even more exciting to me seeing it through another special set of eyes (and heart!)
Hmmm, I might have to check out this scavenger hunt later.
Thanks for always making me smile and making me realize how fortunate (and thankful) I am to be living in beautiful SoCal!

@Henie You’re welcome. I always enjoy your CA shots. In a very short time, I’ve fallen in love with SoCal.
@Nicole I’m sure spring is just around the corner for you, and I’ll make sure I get the rest of the pics up before the March deadline……………..:)

You have a great start! Love the local transportation!
And your local person – what’s with all the pigeons?!

Hi Lisa!
How long have you been in California and from where? No wonder you capture such a fresh perspective of our culture! :~) I also think we must meet and go on a photo jaunt together soon! What do you say? :~)

@Lisa Thank you. I might change a couple of these photos, if I find something else I like better. The gentleman with the pigeons was a little different. One day, when I was walking on Venice beach, he was just there, surrounded by pigeons because he was feeding them. It appeared that that was what he did. Because I was taking his picture, and from the look of it, his main income was from the people who took his picture, so I took a step forward to put a dollar in his jar. When I stepped forward, the birds suddenly took off, scaring me to death. I apologized for sending the birds off and the gentleman said, “No problem.” Within a few seconds, the birds were back, eating away.
@Henie I’ve been in CA for a little more than 2 years. I’m lovin’ living here. The idea of shooting with you has also occurred to me. I’m ready when you are. Feel free to email me at lisajnewton at gmail dot com…………….:)

Lisa these photos are absolutely stunning! I’m ashamed to admit that this is not what I traditionally imagined Los Angeles to be like.
Also, this photo scavenger hunt is a great way to encourage the noob photographer such as myself to get out and take some photos
I’m really going to have to start a photography blog aren’t I

@Marc Thank you, I’m so glad you liked them. I think Los Angeles’s reputation isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, and I love showing off the city via my photographs. I’d love to see you start a photography blog……………..:)

I am literally sitting at this PC trying different plays on words for a Welsh photographer as a name for my new photo blog
…Yes I should be working hehe
[Reply]
@Marc In lieu of your own photo blog, I’d like to invite you to do a guest post here at Travelin’ Local. I’d love to see where you live, places you love to go, and what’s special about your neighborhood. You can email me at lisajnewton at gmail dot com…………….:)

@Marc Great, I look forward to seeing the results of your photographic adventure…………:-)

I’m ambivalent about doing a “teaser”, mainly because I’ve got so many other things going right now. But perhaps. I didn’t consider that a “local stamp” might have nothing to do with postage. Very clever of you!

@Mojo Because graffiti artists are all over LA, it’s like the city stamp. I’m glad you appreciated it…………………:)

Next stop for you to discover and shoot: The Watts Towers

@Henie Thanks for the link. I’m planning on getting downtown soon, and I’ll definitely put the Watts Tower on my long list of places to go. In LA, it’s almost overwhelming all the interesting things to see and do.

What fun. I want to participate in the scavenger hunt. I loved your photographs, especially the pigeon man.

@Gail He was a rather unique individual. I’m glad you liked it, and I’m sure you can sign up for the scavenger hunt.
