Friday, January 9, 2009 – Tired of Hollywood

Go to the Image Archive, to Hollywood – there are more than a hundred pages of Hollywood photographs, thousands of shots. But sometimes you just get tired of Hollywood. After almost twenty years here, you want a change.

The faces of movie stars become oppressive, or threatening, like Will Smith here –

And Jim Morrison, dead and buried in Paris long ago, is still here –

And Marilyn Monroe is still everywhere, even if still dead –

Sometimes you don't even know who these folks are –

We sell odd dreams here –

And we don't treat our sources well –

It can make you sad –

It's just an odd place –

The old dreams –

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.
