The world as seen from Just Above Sunset -

"Notes on how things seem from out here in Hollywood..."

Leering Icons

On Hollywood Boulevard, between Christmas and New Years, the characters are acting up. This fellow from Sesame Street just isn't paying attention to the right thing.




					It begins innocently enough, with the Japanese tourists looking on.



			The Imperial Storm Trooper and Darth Vadar like the lovely young thing. And she enjoys the attention.


		Tigger is, of course, all innocent -



		The Tin Man of Santa Monica - this character on the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade doesn't speak, he just whistles.







				If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. These were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 The original large-format raw files are available upon request.
