Highland Park

These are a couple of my first images of Highland Park. I often take the Gold line from Pasadena to downtown Los Angeles and this part of town has always caught my eye. It has a long history of art and architecture and is one of the oldest settled parts of Los Angeles. In the 1990s flocks of gang members would often gather along Figueroa street establishing their pecking order.


And now bargain hunters are looking for historic craftsman homes to renovate before the area turns into Silver Lake or Los Feliz.
