Oakland Revisted
It has been a while since I've done an Oakland thread. My first, from 2008, is still floating around and I did a thread just around Lake Merritt in 2010. But, my photo project last year got me out photographing all over Oakland (among other places) and I thought an Oakland thread would be worth revisiting.
Part 1: Contra Costa County
Part 2: Alameda County
Oakland is arguably one of the most underrated cities in the US. As I've gotten to know it over the past nine years, I have really grown to appreciate the city, faults and all, and defend Oakland to anyone who has their own preconceived notions. Thankfully, several forumers including myself, WesternGulf, and Nineties Flava have done a nice job showcasing all sides to Oakland. This thread isn't meant to be comprehensive as there is much more to Oakland that I've photographed. But, this is really MY Oakland, the parts I experience working, walking, shopping, and socializing.
