Ryon (Skorz) > A gorgeous example of art deco art. This is a panorama of the Griffith Observatory ceiling fresco, stitched from six individual exposures using the Autostitch program. The edges of the fresco are supposed to be straight. The curvature and distortion can be attributed to the fact that I was not standing directly underneath the center of the fresco, as well as lens distortion at the wide end of my 18-200 lens. Ordinarily, I would not put this picture up (Would not pass QA!) but I think the art is beautiful enough to warrant an exception in this case.
Ryon (Skorz) > Amidst cold, austere, impersonal surroundings, this people mover serves as the colon of the American Airlines Terminal, shitting arriving passengers out to the orbiting SUVs of friends and family, to be flushed away from the airport into the sewer that is Los Angeles. Despite the recent renovation of their terminal, American Airlines apparently decided to keep the groovy 1970's wall tile to put on the left-hand wall. Notice the lack of tiles on the right-hand wall, leading one to believe that they either exhausted the tile budget or came to their senses halfway through the job. Standard institutional flourescent lighting completes the "fuck you very much" ambience. Awaiting at the end of the hallway are two automatic revolving doors. Stepping into these causes one to imagine stepping into a cuisinart. Running on this thing is fun, providing a handy speed boost to escape from the colicky baby that ruined your flight. The center area is apparently for those with conveyorphobia, or those too manly to be helped along by a mere horizontal escalator. One day, I hope to run plastic sheeting down the length of the hallway and make the world's longest slip-n'-slide. Drag racing the cripple-people scooters to the exit could also be possible.

Ryon (Skorz) > The skyline of downtown Los Angeles glows in the distance. The light on the center pillar was actually a lit sign reading "To Telescope". This picture was quite a chore to take properly, as the observatory was busy that evening. This resulted in many many people walking into, out of, and staying in my frame as I was trying to take the exposure. How inconsiderate! At the top of the stairway, you will be able to make out the blurry shadows of two people that began to descend the stairs as the final seconds of this exposure elapsed. I wonder if I could sell this image as containing genuine ghosts...

Ryon (Skorz) > I was in San Jose that Summer, from Texas. When we visited this park, I immediately noted aloud how brown everything looked, as far as the eye could see. The guy that was leading us on the hike (Hi, Dave!) said "Well, we call it golden". I still call it brown.

A gorgeous example of art deco art. This is a panorama of the Griffith Observatory ceiling fresco, stitched from six individual exposures using the Autostitch program.

The edges of the fresco are supposed to be straight. The curvature and distortion can be attributed to the fact that I was not standing directly underneath the center of the fresco, as well as lens distortion at the wide end of my 18-200 lens.

Ordinarily, I would not put this picture up (Would not pass QA!) but I think the art is beautiful enough to warrant an exception in this case.
