Making It Work - Setting Up for the Oscars on Hollywood Boulevard

The 79th Annual Academy Awards for "outstanding film achievements of 2006" will be presented on Sunday, February 25, 2007, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland Center. The riggers were setting things up, and that block of Hollywood Boulevard was closed for the week before the thing.  It's the big deal out here. Last year you got A Taste of Hollywood at Oscar Time - five nested pages of shots from 26 February. This year, here's the actual work in progress to make the thing work - Tuesday, February 20.

Actually, this British crew was asking passers-by what they remembered about 9/11 - where they were and how they reacted.

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.

To leave a comment, drop a line and I will post it below the entry.
