Tuesday, May 11, 2010 – Good Light

The Griffith Park Observatory as seen from 1606 North Laurel Avenue, just off the Sunset Strip

From the window this morning – seems like the light is Los Angeles amazing again – and there was not much new going on in Hollywood – so it seemed like a good idea and just drive around and photograph the light on things – so no theme and no cultural or historical or architectural stuff – just the light shining on this and that, in a David Hockney meets Edward Hopper sort of way – like in this mural in Culver City –
