Hop Louie
I had some great lost weekends here. Beneath the iconic pagoda in the heart of Los Angeles' Chinatown is the classic black lacquer bar, lit with red paper lanterns and Christmas lights. Strewn about are the required sports pendants and drink advertisements. It's right and wrong all at the same time. The one place I'll remember that I did my best not to remember my first broken heart. ...Twenty years later, it's not changed much; and it's my favorite place to remember; I was very young once.

thanks to all! when the theme was announced I had to dig through the archives looking for this shot. I had taken this photo with an older camera; black and white was my only option; I'm very happy with the result and glad I could share with everyone. -Bradley

I have never been to China town, but have always been interested and fasinated by the unique look. The black and white is beautiful and the details and features so well brought out. I also enjoyed the story behind the picture very much.
