Friday, September 14, 2007 – Hollywood Normal

Regarding the three pages of photos of the movie shoot on Hollywood Boulevard, Our Man in Paris, Ric, the editor of MetropoleParis, has a question –

Nobody asked me, but I think those movie crew shoot people should wear uniforms so that we can tell if they are on the team. As it is, it looks like a crazy mob making trash. Not much different from Hollywood Boulevard on a normal day. A normal day in Hollywood? Do you have those?

The short answer to this simple question – no.

New billboard at Hollywood and Highland (for Mountain Dew, a soft drink) –

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:

Most of these photographs 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.  Earlier photography was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.
