Hollywood Boulevard, January 2004

From the early 2000's to about 2016, we used to take a long weekend in Los Angeles every January. It was a wonderful change to leave the cold, often foggy north for the sunny south. The drive down I-5 was a bit long but it was also an effective way to decompress. Driving down a gloomy, almost desolate freeway will do that to you. You forget about work and concentrate on avoiding the large trucks that dominate the route. On the rare occasions when it's sunny, you are bedazzled by the green of one of the most productive ag valleys on the planet.
This was taken with a film camera, the Contax G2, loaded with Fuji Provia. Scanned with a Nikon Coolscan. I flipped it to B&W in post.
