No Foolin'

 During a recent photo shoot, I was taking a light reading using the old Canon Digital Rebel.  A young woman yelled "what are you doing?"  I told her exactly what I was doing.  She immediately called security, told me that I was not allowed to take any photographs of the buildings, logos, and people who happened to be in the area.  Security showed up immediately, I was escorted to the authorities.  I explained what I was doing.  I received the same warning, had to sign a paper, saying what the young woman had told me.  "Can I take photographs of the beautiful flowers, surrounding the buildings?"  I am an eternal optimist, who believes in the wonderful freedoms that make our lives possible in this special place.  After all this is the United States of American, and the State of California.  I was told that I could only take photographs of flowers, only if I turned in my card for download to the authorities, and then erased the content.    

At one time the government and business leaders were proud of their architectural creations, and the design of interiors as sign of their freedom, and an expression of their achievements.  That was the old world that I grew up in. 

The people of Fresno, California wanted to be on the cutting edge of architecture, after all they had just gone through a huge urban renewal moment, tearing down a whole swath old homes, built in the classic 1880 to 1890's Victorian styles, with ginger bread, and broad porches to protect from the valley heat.  Arthur Erickson, a prominent Canadian architect, was chosen to build a new city hall in this now old fashion neighborhood.  Erickson's design called on the Futurism school of 1909, and the Postmodernism 1970's movement to describe the seat of government. 

This brings me to my desire to photograph the varied architecture and history of Fresno, if you have a camera, that is more sophisticated than a point and shoot, or a cell phone camera, you could risk of a serious run in with the Department of Homeland Security, local law enforcement, and businesses. That is no foolin'.

 

 

Thanks for listening.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



THE ACADEMY TO HOST A "WAYNE'S WORLD" REUNION...
NO WAY.  WAY.


BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Producer Lorne Michaels, writer-actor Mike Myers, actor Dana Carvey and director Penelope Spheeris will reunite for a panel discussion and screening of "Wayne's World" on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The evening will be introduced by Academy President Hawk Koch, who also served as the film's executive producer.

Myers made his film debut alongside Carvey in this 1992 big-screen version of their "Saturday Night Live" sketch about two metal-head teenagers, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, who host a public access cable TV show called "Wayne's World" from a basement in Aurora, Illinois.

The film was a smash hit, grossing more than $180 million worldwide. The influence of "Wayne's World" on popular culture includes several phrases that became everyday expressions, such as "Schwing!" "NOT!" and "We're not worthy!" The soundtrack also propelled Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, more than 15 years after its original release.

The new print to be screened is courtesy of the Academy Film Archive and Paramount.

Tickets for "Wayne's World" are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID, and may be purchased starting April 1 online at www.oscars.org, in person at the Academy box office or by mail. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Samuel Goldwyn Theater is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. All seating is unreserved. For more information, call (310) 247-3600 or visit www.oscars.org.
