Wednesday, January 28, 2009 – Keeping Up on Things

Not young, not hip, not up on what's hot, and puzzled by the Sunset Strip – which is like another world, but just outside the door.

Billboard. Sunset Strip, West Hollywood - Eyes and Lipstick
Liquor, Cigars, Pussycat - Sunset Strip, West Hollywood
Pussycat Dolls Lounge, Sunset Strip, West Hollywood
Viper Room marquee, Sunset Strip, West Hollywood

Okay, okay, the Sixties and old people and dead people – got it –

Whisky a Go Go, Sunset Strip, West Hollywood

But times have changed –

And just up the street, the comforting familiar –

Yep, you have to read the signs –

And the world floats above the flagship Hustler store on the Strip –

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
