virgin mary guadalupe on a wall with some graffiti on it. you can see it from the street between two parked cars. it’s a very bright day, but there’s some kind of roofed outdoor area on the building above the virgin that is very dark

factory | nikon fm2 | ilford fp4 | #believeinfilm #blackandwhitephotography
glass bottle factory. strange building, looks like they took enormous U-shaped magnets, covered them in a corrugated metal sheath, and aimed it the sky.

baptismal font | simon rodia | nikon fm2 | kodak gold | #believeinfilm
baptismal font made of 7up bottle fragments and a special type of cement concoction created by rodia himself. this is in the shadow of the watts towers, which most people don’t realize are part of an outdoor church. the font is functional. there’s a new chrome hose coupler on the side. it was 100+ degrees in watts when i took this picture and i believe i may have temporarily slipped into an altered state of awareness.
