I took these pictures about 14 months ago. Where I live, Contra Costa County, doesn't have much that is old and funky. Expect for Port Costa, a tiny town beyond Martinez. At one time it was a major port in the California SF Bay Area, now it no longer has a pier and it's population is about 100-150 or less, probably the smallest town in the area. One of the oldest too -- it only has about three buildings on each side of the main street (which is almost unpaved, because it has so many potholes). There is one restaurant people go to, but that is about the only surviving business.
Its so small one would think it hasn't much to shoot... on the other hand it's sort of a surreal little town. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/THEATRE/index.html Comments welcome. These are not my best but I haven't shown any for a while, haven't shot for a while, and went through my archives and thought these were passable. I hope to get back to Port Costa to try again one of these days.
