Week 34

The Parking Spots

So I took these shots on a random weekday last week on a break...
Tonight as I'm looking through the negatives, I was reminded of yet another Ed Ruscha book called Thirty-Four Parking Lots. (Very rare and available at Bondi Books)


It contains aerial images of LA parking lots (actually taken by Art Alanis). I'm not so fond of the photos, but I like the theme and Ed's simple cover.

Japan's parking viewed from the air would be totally different. Probably invisible because most of them look like the images I got this week. Covered or in some kind of ramp or carousel form. A parking space is ridiculously expensive here. Downtown can cost you 30,000-60,000 yen a month and look how beautiful they are!

Oh...I also happened to notice this was Week 34. Thirty-Four Parking Lots? I'd like to say I planned it, but I'm not that organized.
