Last Saturday, Scott Kelby hosted his annual Worldwide Photowalk. My friend and I attended in Crockett, CA, which is underneath the Carquinez Bridge and home of the C&H Sugar Factory. It's a very old town, run-down in places, not yuppified.
I was feeling totally uninspired. I took what I think are technically decent photos, but really struggled with any sort of creativity and something that would make me go "WOW!" (I really should go out and do photowalks more often so I'm not struck so blank when I go.)
At any rate, here are some of the best of what I took.
 |
| This was one of the more charming spots of the town. I'm a sucker for long staircases with plants and bushes. |
 |
| I kept seeing these little (no ... big) guys all over town. On businesses, houses, fences. It was definitely a unique part of the town. |
 |
| A piece of the old and still charming (vs. the old and rundown) |
 |
| The Carquinez Bridge(s) I believe the truss bridge is the old and the suspension bridge is the new one. Fun Fact ... when I moved here, only the truss was open. I've lived in California long enough to see the new replacement bridge be finished. |
 |
| These railroad tracks were the beginnings of what allowed the C&H Factory to be built here. They go right by the front door of the factory. |

For what it's worth, I was very uninspired as well. I hope they choose a new location next year. I feel kind of like I know downtown like the back of my hand now. I know I don't, but I'm just not inspired in the same place anymore.
I intentionally chose to go away from my hometown because I'm bored with it.
