Don’t you have a place you keep going back to knowing there will always be something new to photograph. For me, that place is the Old Sacramento waterfront on the Sacramento River. They keep making changes like new parking meters 😢, new stores, boats and seals. It’s the people that have me coming back. It’s where I can practice street photography.

So we chose to go down there on a recent Sunday, getting there early for a parking space. We walked around, and when the stores opened we shopped.

One major attraction was the reopening of Evangeline’s, a gift shop and costume rental store. Last year a devasting fire destroyed most of the store. They were determined to rebuild and be a fun spot in Old Sacramento. Here are some pictures of the entertainment outside the store and some fun items inside.

We also went into an area that housed several shops. I was intrigued by the mirrors, reflections and lines.

Now for the street photography and people. This is where I’m still a little timid. Old Sacramento is a great place for me to practice.

I didn’t show any of the waterfront this time, but I have in past posts. I’m sure we will be back again for me to practice. It’s something to look forward to.

  2. What a fun blast from the past, Anne! Great street shots! I know how you feel…
    City of Sacramento had a small office in Waterfront Park, and I worked there for a year assisting with special events in Old Sac. At lunch, I’d walk the streets and window shop. I loved Evangelines! So sorry it was stuck by fire, but I’m glad its being restored. Those are great pics!
