The world as seen from Just Above Sunset -

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


	Red White and Blue - Ramage Street, West Hollywood


	Green - a converted warehouse at 652 North La Peer Drive, West Hollywood, now the trendy Fitness Factory



	Blue - Ramage Street, West Hollywood



	Melrose Avenue - Tuesday, October 24 - apart from the contrasting messages, good shadows -



	To the left (of course), a very red wall, in many ways, with its own ironies -

A classic on Hollywood boulevard - muted green and muted red - "Established in 1919, the first restaurant in Hollywood, Musso & Frank's has long been a hangout for screenwriters and assorted celebrities. Since the Writer's Guild was located nearby on Cherokee, it became a favorite watering hole of writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner (who mixed his own mint julips here), John O'Hara, Dorothy Parker, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler - even Ernest Hemingway. 'Sadly, most of these legendary authors were lured to Hollywood by studio money, and out of their element, many of them ended up drinking their lives away at the bar here.'"




		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.
