Opened in 1952, Randy's Donuts in Inglewood, California is a Los Angeles landmark and notable filming location featured in a number of movies and music videos. Still a popular donut shop to this day, Randy's Donuts is an iconic example of novelty architecture making it one of those classic roadside attractions that you can't help but what to stop and see up close.

And thus concludes another series of travel shoots.
This was the first time in 3 years that travel felt normal again, perhaps aside from the price tag. To soak up Las Vegas and Los Angeles with my film school buds lead to some really memorable experiences and made up for some long overdue / delayed shoots - not to mention adding a big exclamation mark to my birthday celebrations this year.
Opened in 2019, the Vessel was an attraction built as part of the Hudson Yards redevelopment in New York City. These images are from that opening year when access to the top of the structure was unrestricted and the observation deck was a social media must-share.

Unfortunately, a string of suicides at the site resulted in the indefinite closure of the Vessel in 2021. Today, the Vessel remains a landmark of Hudson Yards, but visitors are no longer able to climb these stairs and take in the views. While new safety nets and preventive measures have continually been discussed, the future of the attraction is a contentious topic and it remains unclear whether the Vessel will reopen. Although, it seems unlikely that the Vessel will ever operate again in its original state, making these images at Hudson Yards archival.

Built in 1901, Angels Flight is an iconic attraction, funicular, and "the world's shortest incorporated railway" in the Bunker Hill district of downtown Los Angeles, California.
Opened and closed a handful of times throughout its lifespan, the current Angels Flight was relocated roughly a half block from its original location in the mid-1990s after several decades in storage. Today, Angels Flight continues to be well used by locals and visitors alike, and remains a visual staple in pop culture features shot around Los Angeles.
