Wednesday, October 6, 2010 – The Far End

George Harrison wrote the only bad Beatles song – the arrogantly pretentious While My Guitar Gently Weeps – and then he died, not far from here. And this is The George Harrison Tree at the Griffith Park Observatory – weeping, of course.

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.
