Sunday, May 20, 2007 – A Dirty Dozen

After a week off, as the one-year-old computer that failed was sent off to the factory for a rebuild and the new computer was set up and reloaded from all the backups, it seemed the best to begin again with a short side trip down to Melrose Avenue (see the original overview from November 2005 here). One always finds interesting images down there. Why Melrose? The devil made me do it.

Robin is still working on cleaning things up.  Batman has the kid do the chores.

Ah, a window on soul of the neighborhood.

And a new store - women's clothing - very ominous -

Your Hollywood poster for the day –

Ah, an art poster, although somewhat disturbing –

What good are the arts anyway? Note the balance.

Wheels on Melrose –

Pigeons, hiding out –

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 this site.

Technical Note:

Most of these photographs 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.  Earlier photography was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.
