A Picture Perfect New Year 2023

Here's a fresh project. Many of my HABS/HAER/HALS photo projects are embargoed while moving through the regulatory process, so sometimes I don't know what I have shared and what I forgot to share.

Here are some new 5×7" large format HABS photos from New Year's Day, 2023 (24 hours ago).

Since there is no client, and I'm donating these negatives (and a few more) to Heritage Documentation Programs at the National Park Service for inclusion in the Historic American Buildings Survey collection at the Library of Congress, I can show you this very, very recent project.

I don't know if this Fotomat booth is threatened (Aren't they all really?). But it seemed like a relatively unmolested specimen and since there are no Fotomat booths documented in the Library of Congress… a trip to Glendale was in order.

(The Ansel Adams clouds don't hurt either.)
