	Tuesday, January 20, 2009 – Heroic Patriotism


	Yep, the flag and some eagles, the day of the inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president, as the third act of America begins. You remember Act One, starring Thomas Jefferson – All Men Are Created Equal. And you remember Act Two, Lincoln and then the end of the Civil War – No, Really, They Are. Tuesday, January 20, 2009, was the beginning of Act Three – Getting It Right. This is the Yucca Vine Tower, 6305-09 Yucca Street (at Vine), H. L. Gogerty of Gogerty & Weyl Architects, 1928 – now the central feature of the Los Angeles campus of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Architects did heroic back then, with watchmen and everything.

In the distance, negative thoughts –

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:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto. The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
