Shot in February 2002 on black and white film with a Canon 650.
In 1923, Harry Chandler, owner of the biggest real estate empire of the time, was looking to get people out to Los Angeles, and decided to build what was first supposed to be a gated community in the hills northwest of downtown. This was deemed "Hollywoodland," and the iconic sign later built as a hillside billboard for that community once reflected that longer name.
Two stone gates were set up at the time, to retain privacy for the future residents. They still sit there, at the top of Beachwood Canyon.
