Pasadena City Hall in California

Completed in 1927, the Pasadena City Hall in Pasadena, California is a stunning piece of architecture. From its impressive dome to its ornately manicured courtyard, this impressive landmark is part of Pasadena's Civic Center District. In 1980 this entire district, including the Pasadena City Hall, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This location has long been popular with filmmakers, however there are two notable examples where the Pasadena City Hall stands out in my mind. One is where it featured prominently as a backdrop in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940) and the other is as the City Hall of Pawnee, Indiana in NBC's Parks and Recreation. Given how beautiful the building is, it's easy to see why it's still such a popular location.

Southwest USA Travel Shoot 2022

Two weeks, 6 states, 7 national parks / preserves, 12.6K images, nearly 7500 kms driven, and my first return to travel shooting on the road in the U.S. since March 2020.

From the Grand Canyon to the California coast, from hiking in Arches to camping in Joshua Tree, from searching out desert art installations to classing it up at the Beverly Hills Hotel ... can I just say how much I've missed this? 

My sincerest thanks to everyone who made this series of travel shoots an epic success. Now, where to next? I'm thinking I could use some recommendations as I'll be camped out in the edit suite for the next few months to continue work on the documentary ... 

Are you planning any travel in 2022?
