Quote: "In the photographs of Anthony Hernandez, there are no swaying palm trees or cinematic sunsets. Instead, for half a century, this born-and-bred Angeleno has trained his unblinking lens on another L.A. — a city of the aged, of the working class, of the destitute." And another profile here: http://lenscratch.com/2017/09/anthony-hernandez/ I sure like his style and his angle of showing the not so glamorous sides of L.A. Some of these shots make the bar door series look downright swanky but when isn't it time to get a little noirish here? https://i.imgur.com/I9Jg2M3.jpg?1 http://lenscratch.com/2017/09/anthony-hernandez/ https://i.imgur.com/bV0KRd7.jpg?1 https://americanart.si.edu/blog/eye-...zs-photographs https://i.imgur.com/c7bkFIU.jpg?1 https://www.sfexaminer.com/entertain...due-at-sfmoma/ https://i.imgur.com/U9Riqbh.jpg?1 https://manpodcast.com/portfolio/no-...karen-hellman/ https://i.imgur.com/o2o0Pbk.jpg?1 https://manpodcast.com/portfolio/no-...karen-hellman/ Some obvious but also some more mystery locations here. |
Oh my, people might get something sticky on the soles of their shoes from that sidewalk.

https://i.imgur.com/DlBw45y.jpg The original photo was taken from the corner of 3rd, but I moved a bit closer so we could read the text on the Shatto 39 (BOWL) building. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0688...7i16384!8i8192 |

I believe the keyhole bar doorway in post #54354 may have been located at 107 W. 4th Street downtown. It was destroyed fairly recently.

I believe you are correct, Snix. Here's the doorway in 2009. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/f1nHFj.jpg GSV . . .but the beautiful metal components were already gone by this point in time. ( i.e. the actual door) Here's what the sign says. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/qB8URj.jpg The sign looks like a transplant from Chicago. .... (Old Style signs are ubiquitous there) Thanks for the help, Snix. :) for search purposes: keyhole door - ollie's sports shop - live bait and tackle - 107 w. 4th street - los angeles |

Best Nourish L.A. T.V. series?
77 Sunset Strip gets my vote. Perhaps the original 1950s Dragnet.

Wiki's bio of actor Cassidy says nothing about him being a Traffic Cop in LA. Plus that cop is much thinner in the face of any actor Cassidy photos. Maybe it is Cassidy but people wanted to hide the idea that he was an LA cop at one time.:shrug::shrug:

If you're casually glancing at the photo below you might think the young man on the bus bench has pretty long legs. Look again.
https://i.imgur.com/bV0KRd7.jpg?1 I'm wondering if the person on whose lap he is sitting was trying not to have their picture taken? Quote:
The Java Lanes opened in 1958. Java Lanes was the quintessential baby-boom recreation spot, and a constant flow of guests enjoyed the South Pacific-meets-Jet Age amenities of its coffee shop, dining room, banquet room, cocktail lounge, ballroom, billiard room, supervised nursery for the kiddies and thirty-two bowling lanes, with a top-notch pro shop. [...] Java Lanes cooled somewhat, but enjoyed a revitalization in the ’90s when one of its space-tropical entertainment rooms became the Lava Lounge. Mark DiPiazza reactivated Java Lanes’ long-dormant entertainment license and put together years of high-energy music shows in the Lava Lounge, nurturing tons of local bands and playing host to touring acts like Weezer, and Lit, who filmed the video for their hit “My Own Worst Enemy” at Java Lanes. (video included in article) Every paid admission to a show entitled you to a free game of bowling. Unfortunately, this new burst of energy at Java Lanes would sometimes spill into the surrounding neighborhood, and complaints and police calls began to pile up. In 2002, the bowling alley had its entertainment license revoked. Facing slow business and with offers on the table, the Java Lanes owners sold their property. It was demolished in 2004. Above from: Java Lanes Remembered As Long Beach’s Tiki, Space-Age Fun Place https://lbpost.com/hi-lo/art/java-la...-age-fun-place If you GSV the address it looks nothing like Hernandez' photo now. It's all Town Houses and such. This is the squiggly sign thing in the far distance of Hernandez' photo: https://img.lbpost.com/wp-content/up...Lanes_Sign.jpg...from article At night: https://www.critiki.com/images/locat...4561_large.JPGCritiki |

I'm surprised that photo has been stirring so many comments. It didn't when it was first posted on NLA. https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...ostcount=50349 Winogrand L.A. picture, dated Jan. 1960. |

I remembered that photo because the blond woman looking down in the center looks like the employee who's in charge of the bank deposit boxes in a film I like from 1956...The Man in the Vault. She's even wearing the same outfit, or nearly the same. I don't know the actress's name, it's not in the credits nor on IMDB. |

Mystery location. Here are two images of UCLA's Subtropical Horticulture Orchard in 1934. #1 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/mhOZz6.jpg #2 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/J2BeLO.jpg I thought it might be a fun challange to try and figure out where this campus orchard was located by using the buildings as markers. The trouble is, for me anyway, I don't know the buildings on UCLA's campus well enough to figure it out. Here's a closer look. #1 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/RNk5EP.jpg detail Note. . .the large building in the far distance on the right. (behind the cluster of white buildings in the middle distance) #2 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/akITNX.jpg I'm pretty sure this is the same orchard from a different angle. The round cement culvert(s) appears in both. Sidenote: I'm looking for the link to the photographs. I thought I found them Here. . .but I don't see them. If anyone finds the link before I do please let me know. . |
