how is it that i've lived in LA for... oh, 35 years, yet have never been up to the observatory?pathetic! wait, i take that back ~ i did go once, circa 1986. it was at night, for the laserium show of some police record. (probably zenyatta mendatta or whatever the fuck that album is called.) also, chances are good that we were pounding wine coolers in the car before we went in, so needless to say i don't remember a whole lot.
anyway...
22 years later, i thought maybe i'd do something other than go to la playa and stare at hot gay boys while flipping through the latest issue of star magazine. you know, something kind of cultural and intelligent. i also knew that i just didn't have it in me to shoot one more damn building downtown.
it was a beautiful day, and would have been even better if there hadn't been four MILLION people there. JEEEESUS. at first i was framing my shots around them, but that got old. quickly. it was impossible! so i figured that i would just have to photoshop them out later (and by "i" you know that i really mean my friend B in the studio.)
i would have loved to stay for the sunset, but that was about an hour and a half from when i had already maxed out, so maybe next time. maybe on the day that i'm the only one allowed up there.

were you dorktastic and actually watch the planetarium show- it's quite magical... in a nerdy kind of way.
ha! i didn't even go inside.
so much for "culture" and intelligence, eh?
:D
