Hollywood sepia.

Hollywoodland noir, late 1920s




This is me, hanging upside-down from the letter H around 1987.

Another old gem. Hollywoodland. I wouldn't have the guts to dangle like that. Best prank ever--when the brainiaks at a certain university changed the Hollywood sign to read "Cal Tech" and did the same with the halftime card drill at the Rose Bowl. Harmless pranks that made everybody laugh. We need more laughs today. Enough grimness. The Cal Tech nerds need to get back in the prank game.
