Thursday, July 8, 2010 – Hanging Out

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, as Janis Joplin used to sing. When you feel like that you end up out here in Venice Beach, although this place has been closed for years.

But the dragon is still there –

Zoned out with the music being pumped into your ear –

Jim Morrison is still hanging out where he used to hang out –

But don't worry. The Big Kahuna will tell your fortune. He tells all, for a dollar –

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.
