Back in the Day

When I was a "kid", I carried all of this. One camera
loaded with slow, fine-grained B&W film
(Kodak Panatomic-X) and the other with Kodak Tri-X. I
usually "pushed" the Tri-X to ASA 800, or higher, in the
dark room. I had no passion for medium speed B&W film
or artificial light. Packed away in storage is a Yashica
twin lens reflex camera. I sold the Graphlex and the Bolex
many years ago.

More Back in the Day

If you were wondering, that's a Graphlex camera. 

Still More Back in the Day

And that's a Bolex 16mm motion picture camera.

Look closely and you'll spot both entrances to the north

Another Hollywood Night

You will see the stars, when you walk down Hollywood
Blvd.
Waitin' for the next train to Pershing Square.
A quick nap on the Metro.
Time for "just one more" in Pete's Cafe, at the corner of 4th and Main, downtown Los Angeles. (I no longer go there; ask me and I'll tell you why)

These days I avoid eating or drinking here.

A few friends for dinner

Dinner at The Pig N' Whistle, 12 May 2006.

Bradbury Bldg. 1

304 South Broadway, Los Angeles, CA

The lobby guards were givin' me the hard look, so I didn't stay long.

You've probably seen this lobby in a few movies.



That's Grand Central Market, as seen from the sidewalk in front of the Bradbury Bldg.
