It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Rebel Without a Cause
Last night Channel 13 ran the classic James Dean movie "Rebel Without a Cause." So what does that have to do with my post today? There are two scenes in the movie that take place at Griffith Observatory. When I was there in January, I found that there is a bronze sculpture of the head of James Dean off to the side of the plaza. I couldn't imagine why until I read the inscription. So when the movie was on last night, I had to watch it. I was reminded of what a magnificent and beautiful building this is. If you click on this, you will see more clearly the city in the background.
and "giant" was shot in marfa, texas, in the shadow of the mcdonald observatory. odd ... and perhaps even odder that you could post a photograph from there.
ReplyDeleteBut I would have to watch "Giant" first. Which I will try and remember to do. THEN I will post one of my photos from McDonald Observatory... :-)
