The first in this series hat draw took me to 333 West Ocean Blvd. in downtown Long Beach on Wednesday, March 23rd. at 10:59 am. It was a demolition construction site with lots of surrounding activity and photography opportunities. 477 images were captured. 444 images hit the cutting room floor. 33 images were selected for the first draft. 3 final images were chosen.
