Way back in 2017, my friend Aurelia invited Hanah and me to participate in a unique photo shoot in a long abandoned train station in West Oakland. How could we say no?
Hanah and I put on our favorite vintage-y outfits and met up with Aurelia in an industrial part of West Oakland I had never been to. There were a few other folks waiting to shoot photos along with us, but for the most part, we had the station to ourselves. It was like traveling back in time!
Here’s some pics from that amazing day.
And Aurelia caught Hanah and I doing a quick improv dance in the main hall.
Apparently now there are efforts to get the building added to the National Registry of Historic Sites to help preserve the station. Fingers crossed!
