Wednesday, December 29, 2010 – Obey

Shepard Fairey "Obey" graphic at abandoned restaurant, Sunset Boulevard at Gordon, Hollywood

It's another Shepard Fairey "Obey" graphic – behind a chain-link fence at an abandoned restaurant – Sunset Boulevard at Gordon – across the street from the fancy new international headquarters of Technicolor and the Sunset-Gower Studios. The area was known back in the twenties as Poverty Row – a collection of small warehouses and vest-pocket offices where the independent film makers gathered to buy "short ends" of film from the major studios and do what they could. That changed – and Columbia's Sunset-Gower Studios lot gave us Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night in 1934 and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in 1936 – and later a lot of television shows. But Columbia moved on and it reverted to a rental facility for independent film companies. And maybe the area is changing back to Poverty Row.

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.
