It was a chilly 50 degrees, but I was warm after walking around for just a few minutes. I’ve noticed that a few of the vendors were starting to recognize me so that’s kind of nice. When I left the studio I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything, but I wasn’t able to escape without picking up a Polaroid 150 Field Camera (from the late 50s / early 60s) and bomber jacket for my mannequin. Anyway, here are a few photographs from today’s visit.

I didn’t know it was going to be a "project" when I started and my vision for this collection of photos continues to evolve. Here are few photos from my first early visits to the Rose Bowl Flea Market and the PCC Flea Market (both in Pasadena, California).
