(click on the pictures to enlarge them) Department of Public Social Services employees leave work  I tried out the extra-long exposure feature here. That blurry figure next to the cop car is a cop, but you can't tell. The social workers were all leaving really quickly, no doubt on their way to many exciting parties. So I tried to capture the feeling of people racing away from this dreary structure into the big, sparkling city. Don't know if it comes off that way. Oh, and if some higher-up at the Department of Public Social Services is reading this? It wasn't really 5 pm. It was more like 6. Los Angeles Skyline (1), 12-31-02  It's like I always say, you can never have too many skyline shots. Los Angeles Skyline (2), 12-31-02  It's like I always say, you can never have too many ridiculously Photoshopped skyline shots. Los Angeles Skyline (3), 12-31-02  It's like I always say, you can never have too many ridiculously Photoshopped skyline shots. Los Angeles Medical Center, 99 Cents Only  I used Photoshop to try to make it look like these two structures are connected. Medical treatment--99 cents! Only! Don't know if it quite comes off that way. The L.A. Medical Center really is painted with a U.S. flag. It happened soon after 9-11, of course. Remember how when the wave of patriotism subsided, people pretty much all took their car-flags down? The L.A. Medical Center isn't so lucky. Taking a plastic flag-holder off your car is easy. You just wait until nobody's looking and you throw it away. But I don't think anyone over there at the LAMC is going to work up the nerve to paint over Old Glory. It's like a tattoo--it'll be there forever now. Not that I mind or anything. (Original picture here.) Early Teen Protesters March 5, 2003    A small group of, I don't know, 12- to 14-year-olds, mostly girls, marched down the street past my building chanting, "What do we want? Peace! When do we want it? Now!" and "No blood for oil!" They had a few signs and flyers. People driving down the street were honking in support. This made my day. Out of all the things they could be doing after school--sports, video games, TV, sitting around, drugs, sex--they chose to do this.  This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License BLOG |
