September 1, 2003 Photography

These are digital photographs I snapped using a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom (telephoto). Feel free to use them as you will. If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. Note: These are thumbnail previews. To see a full-size high-resolution version of a particular photograph click on the "thumbnail" image. You will see the full image in a separate window.

This week - Labor Day: storefronts, tall buildings, trees and a bronze rabbit...

Here's a shot for Labor Day in Los Angeles - Monday, September 1, 2003. This sums up how things are going for some folks out here. And the roses are right across the street, Ventura Boulevard in Studio City....

Rich folks with great jobs, or perhaps with well-paying jobs they hate, live in these condominiums in this tower overlooking Sunset Boulevard on the edge of Beverly Hills. Or maybe the don't work at all and just have the spare change to live here. Whatever. I just like the strong lines.

In the park in the middle of Beverly Hills, at the corner of Beverly and Santa Monica Boulevard, a few steps from the new Museum of Television and Radio, you will find this bronze rabbit playing a drum, by one Barry Flanagan, placed here by the City of Beverly Hills Fine Art Commission in 1990 - for reasons one can only guess. One knows that is a drum because there is a small sign that says the title of the piece is "Drummer."

Behind the rabbit is this large tree, which, if the commemorative inscription is correct, has been growing here since 1910 or so.

Beverly Hills is indeed an odd place.
