Harry Perry has been the most famous skater in Venice Beach since 1973 when he made his debut as a turbaned, guitar playing, street performer. Originally he wore quad roller skates but later he made the transition to inline skates. Harry has appeared in many movies and videos and in 2002 a likeness of Harry was installed in one of the theme parks at Disneyland in Anaheim California. (source)

getty blues
..spent a day at the getty..
..this is what i’ve been up to yesterday.. yummy, eh? 😉
..my wife’s cousin, enjoying a day at the beach..
..in shooting tourist traps, when you don’t want people to clutter your shot, you usually do one of these:
- wake up late / early and shoot when no one’s there
- shoot a bunch of shots and do some “magic” in photoshop
- painstakingly clone them out one by one
..in this case, i just left the scene alone and pressed the shutter..
..start them early.. otakus in the making.. they’re cosplaying Inuyasha

..here’s Trigun’s Nicholas D. Wolfwood, his death scene was quite touching..
Known for its Space Western theme, Trigun is about a man named “Vash the Stampede” and the twoBernardelli Insurance Society employees who follow him around in order to minimize the damages inevitably caused by his appearance. Most of the damage attributed to Vash is actually caused by bounty hunters in pursuit of the “60,000,000,000$” (sixty billion “double dollars”) bounty on Vash’s head for the destruction of the city of July. However, he cannot remember the incident clearly due to his amnesia. Throughout his travels, Vash tries to save lives using non-lethal force. He is occasionally joined by a priest, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who, like Vash, is a superb gunfighter with a mysterious past.
..nothing much going on here, just editing & posting photos from last week’s event.. here’s another one..
..this one’s for my buddy rex.. ;P
..for reference, here’s how he’s supposed to look like..

..i’ll leave this untitled for now, i’ll do my research later.. my back’s killing me.. XD
..so i eventually went to the Anime Expo here in LA convention center and it was a good thing i did! if you’re into animation and japanese culture and all that, then you’d definitely have fun here.. items are a bit pricey though, but if you bring your camera and just walk the halls, you’d get a lot of great pics of cosplayers.. like this one over here.. 🙂
