	Thursday, April 26, 2007 - Mural Menace

Hollywood is always full of new murals. They seem to be part of some sort of effort to counterbalance the insistent sunshine, smiles and air-kisses at the Ivy. The new ones, however bright, offer darkness and omens. Perhaps they are warning signs.

At the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles there is no listing of what this is about.

The only reference elsewhere is this -

Our Fantastic Universe

Location: Lester Carpet
Address: 901 Gower Street near Willoughby
Artist: Hollywood Beautification Team and Amigo Unidas

More seems to be going on. (And they sell a lot of carpeting here.)

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.
