Summary

[edit]
Description

Doing a Christmas afternoon photo session on the campus of Arcadia High School.

Arcadia is located just east of Pasadena, and 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles; thanks to Arcadia being home to Santa Anita Racetrack, Arcadia's public schools are better funded than in the rest of California, and Arcadia has developed a legendary status among wealthy Asian immigrants (especially those from Taiwan) as a result. Having once lived in Arcadia myself, it's always nice to come back for a new look.

Thanks to the layout and the architecture of the original 1952 single-story classroom buildings, Arcadia High School lends itself nicely to "vanishing point" perspectives. However, about one-third of the classroom buildings are being rehabilitated, and as a result, there are construction barriers everywhere and not many vanishing point perspectives are currently available. The rehabilitation adds, among other things, air conditioning, seen on the ground for this building.
