Tuesday, September 15, 2009 – Since Forever

Hollywood is timeless –

Neon façade, Hollywood Boulevard

Yep, since 1919 – F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Bukowski, William Faulkner, Raymond Chandler and Ernest Hemingway drank here during their screenwriting days, where Orson Welles used to hold court. Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino, and Douglas Fairbanks raced each other down Hollywood Boulevard on horseback, and the loser had to pick up the dinner tab here. The flannel cakes are pretty good.

Musso and Frank, Hollywood

Just Italian across the street –

Miceli's, Hollywood

And there's Chinese, next to the Powerhouse Bar –

Paper Lantern, Hollywood

But the old Ritz Theater has seen better days –

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.
