Christmas Windows

 The world as seen from Just Above Sunset -

"Notes on how things seem from out here in Hollywood..."

Christmas displays in department store windows are pretty much a thing of the past. Large department stores may soon be a thing of the past - only the carefully clever will survive the malls and discounters and outlet centers - but that's another matter. Large cities still have the Christmas window displays, for now. Out here they're a little odd. These are the Christmas windows at the big three on Wilshire Boulevard in central Beverly Hills - Sax's, Barney's and Neiman-Marcus.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0

The original large-format raw files are available upon request.
