Wednesday, April 30, 2008 – Out of the Dark

April ends with a cool cloudy day, and those are always odd in Hollywood – the usual pop culture things seem suddenly something else entirely, and can make you strangely uncomfortable.  Down on the Sunset Strip, in the quiet parking lot behind Sunset Plaza, you sense something is up.

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.
