April 28 Field Trip - Hollywood Blvd Night Photography with Ron Matson

Our next field trip will be lead by Ron Matson on April 28th to the Annenberg Space for Photography, dinner, and then on for some night photography on Hollywood Blvd.

We will meet at the southwest corner of the Costco parking lot in Westlake Village, north of the freeway on Lindero Canyon Road in Westlake Village at 4:00pm. We will then carpool to the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. The museum is quite impressive and the current exhibit is the Digital Darkroom. See http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/ for more information. I figure we will spend about an hour and a half there. Then we will go to Barney's Beanry for dinner, a classic West Hollywood eatery. Finally on to Hollywood Boulevard for several hours of after dark street shooting. Things get fairly active about 8:30.

Please RSVP to Ron at Ron@how-i-see-it.com so that we can make sure we don't leave you somewhere. Give him your email and cell phone number.
