Wandering In LA: September 2010
http://wanderinginla.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Termites.and big ones, too! In this post we depart from the usual focus on neighborhood geography, although we do remain specific to Los Angeles. The subject is an advertisement the L.A. Times has been running for a couple of weeks, and you've probably seen it if you're a regular reader. You should order your tickets early and plan to bring the kids. But you know, this isn't the first Termite Spectacular, for that trail was blazed over seventy years ago by some well known comics. Who worked at Columbia.

Wandering In LA: That Party Room In The Tower of Los Angeles City Hall
http://wanderinginla.blogspot.com/2014/02/that-party-room-in-tower-of-los-angeles.html
That Party Room In The Tower of Los Angeles City Hall. Los Angeles isn't known for historic skyscrapers the way New York and Chicago are, but its iconic City Hall is an outstanding exception. For many years it was the standard location establishing shot for films set in Los Angeles, at least until this function was taken over by newer and taller buildings, for example the U.S. Bank Tower. Unlike the City Hall of San Francisco,. San Francisco City Hall (Wikimedia Commons). City Hall from the east. Towards...

Wandering In LA: August 2013
http://wanderinginla.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Borat, Slack, Tame. And oh yeah, Emily. From the last post's footprints in cement, we segue to painted graffiti art. As much as anything it was the name BORAT that got my attention. I thought the Sascha Baron Cohen's performance in the film was very funny, rising as it did to heights of surrealistic slapstick lunacy. Next up is "TAME". It's all right, I don't think he's dangerous. There are a couple more names at the far right. I haven't been able to decipher the last one- is it QHTM? Her name is Emily.

Trompe-l'oeil in Culver City. Ceiling Fresco by Andrea Mantegna, ca. 1470. Camera degli Sposi, Palazzo Ducale, Mantua. Or, they could break their noses walking into doorways. Fresco in the Palazzo Spada in Rome by Francesco Borromini. The fact is, you don't have to go all the way to Italy to see an example of trompe-l'oeil, because you can do that right here in the City of Culver City City, as we like to call it. If you have recently walked into this signal box. He would have seen this dangerous illusion...
