R8 28mm RF lens / One of the photo exercises I engage in is taking a camera with me wherever I go and finding things to shoot as I go about my business. I purposefully do not waste brain cells trying to be artistic. I find what I find and if I find something I find something. This morning being dog bandana day at Dutch Bros I was in Downtown Bakersfield rather early so I drove around for a few minutes. We have the honor of having the last Woolworth's lunch counter in the USA but we also have some infamy.
Cinema 19 is an old-school porn house with drug, prostitution, and vice busts. Why it still exists is beyond me aside from selling access to porn, and providing the venue for drug sales and prostitution that is. We also have several massage parlors that get busted and closed down for prostitution and then they reopen as if nothing happened and the bust happens again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
