Wednesday, December 1, 2010 – Drawn to Venice

Coming up on thirty years out here in Southern California – as the poet Ezra Pound said, "I have weathered the storm, and beaten out my exile." For him, after Wabash College, it was Paris, then Venice, and then madness. It's probably better to settle for Venice Beach. One does end up in Venice Beach. It's an inevitable place. And there's this new mural by "Enzo" –

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.
