Where to wait for the paparazzi to finish with you – the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip

The cowboy on the side of the Saddle Ranch Steakhouse on the Sunset Strip – Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper created this place, but they sold it long ago. The cowboy remains, dislocated.

The ladies of the Sunset Strip –

Across Sunset from the ladies, a modern version of Pan –

Whatever –

Parked on the corner, a professional, obviously –

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.
