Tuesday, July 8, 2008 – Building the Image

Kevin Costner – under construction, high over Sunset Boulevard –

Our NBA MVP – Kobe Bryant – floats over the east end of Hollywood Boulevard, in his Lakers colors –

A professional wrestler keeps an eye on the dead center of Hollywood Boulevard –

The Prada woman keeps an eye on the hopelessly hip down below at Sunset Plaza –

At the Stella Adler Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, this face hidden above the front door – and when Brando and the rest walked in for their lessons they might have noticed it –

Fame?  No one pays attention. 

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:

Photographs after March 3, 2008, were taken with a Nikon D200 – or a Nikon D70 when noted. All previous photographs were taken with the D70. The lenses used are (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto, or (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. Photography here is modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.  The earliest photography in the archives was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.
