West Hollywood protest to show LGBTQ support for the Occupy movement. Though a small demonstration, the honking from passing cars and the responses from people in the stores and on the street was quite positive.

Scenes from 2011 Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade. Part of the very large contingent for Bienestar, a nonprofit health service agency working with Latino sexual minorities.

Seen on the way to the 2011 Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade... I found the parade to be much more diverse than it had been in recent years. It had, to me, become too commercial and too sterile, but this year there seemed to be greater diversity in perspectives. I marched with friends who were fairly early in the parade, so my photos don't cover much of the early part of the parade.

Photo from a series of photos of Warner Studios, now known as "The Lot". Though not particularly impressive as architecture, the studios have been active since the 1920's and many famous movies have been made there. Many of the buildings are soon to be demolished to make way for an office tower, thus the reason for documenting these historic structures. In an juxtaposition, the sidwalks around Warner Studios were constructed by Griffith Company in 1927. Why this is odd is that D.W. Griffith was a famous director from the times when the studios at this location were first forming. A little search on the web though, finds a different Griffith Company that has been a major construction firm in LA since 1906 and apparently isn't related to DW Griffith.

One of the more fascinating things about living in LA is the reminder of how much the movie industry is exactly that, an industry -- so much of the studios look like factory buildings.
