Hanna-Barbera - HDR
So dark, I kind of like the other, brighter "fake" HDR photos. This is the only one that I finished all the photoshop steps on, somehow I don't like it as much. By the way, this used to be the Hanna-Barbera building.
Downtown Los Angeles - HDR
Yeah, that's right, I can turn my photos into awesome postcards from the 60's with my "fake" HDR effect. The view is from the restored Griffith Park Observatory.
Santa Barbara Plaza - HDR
This looks like a travel postcard, but it's just a "fake" HDR effect. This is a landmark plaza in Santa Barbara, hidden in plain site right next to their city hall!

Mysterious Case of Disappearing Acorns - Squirrels Starving
Similar to the Bee Colony Hive Collapse, now acorns are missing from the food chain. The squirrels will be hungry. The best guess as to what the squirrels will now do for food is a rather chilling one. It is obvious. Our flee-ridden bags of fur will turn towards eating human flesh.

Prop 8 Protest Rally Silver Lake - Conflict - No to Proposition 8 - No to Hate
Prop 8 Protest in Silver Lake - Conflict with proponents of proposition 8 which denies marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples in California. Three guys with bullhorns and signs also attended the rally of over 20,000 people. Mounted police officers do a fantastic job of protecting the free speech right of both the marchers and the counter-protestors. Liquid is tossed towards the three "Yes on 8" men, while 3 more guardian angel nun-drag queens tell the crowd to move along and if you just ignore them, they'll go away. Scenes of the crowd passing by are not the same group over and over, I stayed in one place, and never really could show how many people were really there.
Prop 8 Protest Rally in Silver Lake - Gathering - No to Proposition 8 - No to Hate
Prop 8 Protest in Silver Lake - Gathering before marching down Santa Monica Blvd, up Vermont, then back East on Sunset Blvd. Equal rights advocates are angry that the Mormon Church spent $70 million to deny the right-to-marry to this very vocal minority group.

Baby Tigers love to swim!
Great article with lots of pictures of baby tigers swimming with their trainers. If there is anything I love more than squirrel attack stories, it's articles about cute/ugly ass baby tigers that love to swim.
Don't worry about the economy, the war, the elections or anything else. Just look at the cute pictures of swimming baby tigers.
That is all.

A terrific website that covers tons of squirrel attacks
http://www.anti-squirrel.com/
I simply cannot believe I found a place that touches on my very serious fears of squirrel attacks.
Go and visit, and I hope you come away with the full gravity of the situation.
Be prepared... do your research... know the enemy.
They are mostly grey, brown and red... and they are already in your own backyard!
Squirrel leaves trail of destruction in its wake
That's a lot of damage for just one squirrel. I insist he had help from the underground squirrel army.
Keep on your toes people. It looks like they are methodically testing our defenses, and are preparing to make their final move!

Who's going to jail?
Who's to blame?
I certainly don't want to pay for it out of my taxes, that sounds very socialist to me. Usually, it's the rich complaining about socialism, but this time the upper class needs the tacit approval of the unwashed masses before looting their bank accounts.
The oil companies just had several years of obscene record profits in the billions of dollars range.
The fat cats on Wall St. throw around advice like, "Be sure to split any deposits above $100,000 between accounts, or it's not covered by FDIC."
Yeah, like we all have hundreds of thousands of dollars and have to worry about those kinds of details.
Don't forget the troops will be in the streets starting tomorrow... but don't worry, they're there to help us get through these tough times, I swear.
Civil unrest is unlikely however, only because almost everyone is tied up watching the new 90210, reading about Lindsay Lohan's lesbian love romp, and downloading britney spears' latest sex tape... so I don't expect to see riots coming to your streets any time in the near future.
Yet once again I ask... who's going to jail?
Because someone is going to have to pay for this, they're going to have to answer up to it, face us down under hot lights. Someone has to balance the books and make right what has been taken away from us... and I'll tell you one thing, it's not going to be me.
Say no to the bailout. Say no to daylight robbery. Say no to your elected officials, don't let them get away with robbing our children and grandchildren to pay some clever bankers.

Billions for bankers but nothing for Social Security?
Our priorities must be the financial market. I read that the amount of money they plan on throwing at the current financial "crisis" would provide health care for every man, woman and child in the U.S. for six months.
Free markets require a correction now and then. It feels like they keep propping up the value of the dollar when they should let it find equilibrium within the global economy. By hiding the true relationship of our dollar with the rest of the world's currencies, we are deluding ourselves and extending the time it takes for the house of cards to come crumbling down.
I was appalled that the markets actually took a 400 point jump at the close of last week's trading.
What are these people smoking?

La Gran Limpieza, the Great L.A. River Clean-Up
Went down to the Bette Davis Picnic Area on the back-side of Griffith Park and helped FOLAR (Friends of Los Angeles River) clean up our "river".
I met some great people, and I really enjoyed seeing all of the kids that chose to get involved with such a great cause.
It is a nasty, sticky, dirty body of water that writhes its way through our metropolis. It needs some TLC every now and then.
LA GRAN LIMPIEZA / THE GREAT L.A. RIVER CLEANUP

SATURDAY, May 17, 2008 - Footage of FoLAR's 19th Annual Great Los Angeles River CleanUp - Shot by Keith Coogan on a Sony HDR-HC1, edited with iMovie - Sponsored By:

(FoLAR) Friends of the Los Angeles River is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization founded in 1986, whose mission is to protect and restore the natural and historic heritage of the Los Angeles River and its riparian habitat through inclusive planning, education and wise stewardship. Once home to steelhead and grizzlies, the Los Angeles River meandered through wetlands, marshes, willow, alder and sycamore, providing desperately needed water for the region. Now running over 50 miles long - from the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley to the ocean in Long Beach - the Los Angeles River flows through 14 cities and countless neighborhoods. When the Army Corps of Engineers initiated a flood control project in the late 1930's, they began the process of paving 80% of the River, creating the world's largest storm drain. Over the ensuing decades, the River that had been the sole water supply for the City of Los Angeles before the Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913 almost disappeared from public consciousness. With the cement came a perceptual shift: the River no longer existed. Instead, it was a "flood control channel," a no-man's land, surrounded by fences and signs.

Dear Friends,
I had a blast down at the Griffith Park section today. We entered through the Bette Davis Picnic Area and waded through the muck and the guck to try to help our city's strangest landmark. What other metropolis has a twisting cement wash with a four inch trickle of water that can suddenly turn into a raging rapids with the drop of a few inches of rain? From the Sepulveda basin to Long Beach, I simply love seeing the Los Angeles river from my car window anytime I drive near it. This was the first time I ventured into the actual riverbed, and I have to say, I had no idea what a cool place it is. If you get the chance, try to make it down next year and take part in a unique and benevolent experience.
Sincerely,
Keith Coogan

Sean Young, we love you!
Um.... I think that's great! I just have to say, I know and love Sean, I always felt she got a bad rap from men in the business that are afraid of powerful women. She always managed to roll with the punches, and take advantage and play on her reputation. She always had a great humor about the business, and a drive and ambition to match no other. My comment to an actor that DOESN'T dress up in a catsuit and stalk the director is, "Well you obviously didn't want the part!"
So Sean, I love you and am sending good mojo your way. Get well, and we'll see you when you get healthy. And for all others, please rent the movies that we worked on together, "Cousins" and "Forever: A Ghost of a Love Story", so that we can get some of that big residual money!
