Los Angeles on a clear day
8 April 2000 | ||
 |
||
| Looking upon LA on a clear day..... | ||
This is LA on a more typical day....
16 July 2000 | ||
 |
||
| As seen from a walk through the Hollywood hills.... | ||

Tiger Okamoto!
18 March 2001 | ||
 |
||
| Ryuichi, Hideki and my boss Masataka while we were driving fellow Golfers insane | ||
Great walk, great game....
18 March 2001 | ||
 |
||
| Me with the golfing gang.... - Masataka is taking the photo. This is actually just after my first accident on LA's mad streets.... I calmed down by now... | ||
LA Observatory.....
16 July 2001 | ||
 |
||
| 180 degrees of the Observatory.... | ||
View of LA
21 July 2001 | ||
 |
||
| Famous sight of the observatory with the skyline of LA rising in the back..... and a thick layer of dark smog..... | ||
Hollywood Hills
21 July 2001 | ||
 |
||
| In the middle of LA, just near the Hollywood sign is Griffith Park with its untouched wilderness.... | ||
Stars upside down
9 December 2001 | ||
 |
||
| LA's landscape starting to light up at night as seen from Griffith Park when Joe, Janice and myself went on a quick hike up to the observatory.... | ||
The sun sets
12 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| ...as seen from my Nikon995 with my new binoculars (present of my parents) attached to the front lens..... | ||
...And LA awakes
12 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Downtown LA might light up, but it certainly is not getting alive.... | ||
Clear, crisp night sky
12 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| We had to stay still for one second for this self-timed photo.... | ||
Upside down...
12 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Take the starry sky, turn it upside down and you have the lights of LA.... They built the observatory to view stars, but there are no stars you can see in LA... Too much light pollution... | ||
Mountain Gorilla
5 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| With my new SLR, I went to the Zoo in Griffith Park and the Gorilla there became my favourite model. | ||
Looks dangerous!
5 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| But actually he was just yawning tiredly, very bored by us visitors starring at him.... | ||
So human....
5 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| ...every one of these photos really corresponds to human emotions... The missing link is smaller than it seems.... | ||
Disney Pavian
5 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| This Pavian actually has a wart on his nose that looks like an eye out of a Disney animal... The creature itself was far more aggressive looking if you saw its real eyes... This is shot with wide open aperture through wire fences... | ||
Kitty, kitty
5 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Ihm ist es als ob es tausend Staebe gaebe und hinter tausend Staeben keine Welt.... (originally about a Panther).... | ||
Wrapped in Plastic
12 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| One of my fave places in LA, the Griffith Observatory will be closed until 2005.... | ||
Hollywood
1 March 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Serves as a good base for photo manipulations :-) | ||
Caught it
1 March 2003 | ||
 |
||
| They are just too fast... and too bad, but it didn't get into the sun.... | ||
10D
22 March 2003 | ||
 |
||
| My new 10D catching a crocodile... | ||
Joe and Janice
30 March 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Joe grinning as he will be rid of me soon.... | ||
