Monday, August 31, 2009 – Just Not Kansas

Hollywood had its best year in 1939 – Gone with the Wind, Dark Victory, Gunga Din, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Charles Laughton), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Stagecoach, The Woman, Merle Oberon in Wuthering Heights, Intermezzo, Jamaica Inn, and of course The Wizard of Oz. Everyone in Hollywood is talking about that last one this August – that Oz movie opened, in August, seventy years ago.  That probably explains Dorothy on Hollywood Boulevard on this last day of this August.

But, as they say, we're not in Kansas anymore –

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 to 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.
