Seen On Hollywood Boulevard

.

Images from Hollywood Boulevard in the two blocks immediately east and west of Highland Avenue. They are self-explanatory.

By the way, all these LA pictures were taken with the little Olympus Micro Four-Thirds camera I picked up last summer. It is only kind of camera that my teacher in Maine last summer uses these days. Very small, light, inconspicuous on the street but terrific quality. Perfect for old joints that travel.

TOMORROW: on to Beverly Hills.

Filipino Veterans

.

It's almost midnight my time and I just got home from the airport. These pictures were edited on the plane.

At one point on Sunday afternoon I was shooting around the intersection of Hollywood and Highland in LA when this parade came down the street. I asked one of the marchers what it was about. The details weren't clear but it had something to do with Filipinos who fought for the US - in World War II, I think - being denied American military veterans' benefits. But there can hard to be any of those people still alive. Maybe I missed something. Good opportunity for street portraits, if nothing else.

Hooray For Hollywood

.

Some snaps around the tourist heart of Hollywood. The middle picture is Hollywood High School. Can you name all the people?

Short text here and probably no comments yesterday. Long meeting followed by dinner with my colleagues. 7 AM start today. I'll have some time to kill at the airport before my flight so maybe I can get caught up but there are so many more photos to edit.

I just found out that a big Caravaggio show opened Sunday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and I won't have time to go. Rats.

That's Entertainment

.

I spent yesterday afternoon driving around Los Angeles (now that's entertainment) out shooting for fun. First stop, the tourist center of Hollywood. This is everybody's favorite star on the walk of fame. Work today. I can edit pictures if the meeting is boring.
