Surveying Photo Results [Van Nuys, CA]
Used to be that it took time to develop the film
to see if you'd got a good shot -
hasn't been that way for some time now.

Strolling casually as a photographer lurks to get that
natural look for the scrapbook... how original.

Costumed Weirdo [Van Nuys, CA]
Furries - or whatever this is - let the freak flag fly...
During the summer there was a cosplay scene at the park.
People in costume - some seemingly familiar standing around
picnic tables conversing and not quite certain what else
to do with themselves...

Old Trapper - Alvin Cleveland Park [Woodland Hills, CA]
The Old Trapper installation is located in Alvin Cleveland Park - Dedicated January 1969
One would never know, except for this plaque on rock reminder in an overgrown, out of the way corner.
Who was Alvin Cleveland?... and why does he have a park in a far off corner of the agricultural section of Pierce College?...
Some googling tells us nothing except for references to the Old Trapper installation in the park...
One must move beyond the first page of results to start finding some clues...
- A link to an oral history interview in the UCLA Library Digital Collections- A page from the Valley News - pg.57 (August 17, 1961) has a list of class offerings at Pierce college:
[...] Agriculture offerings as announced by Alvin Cleveland, chairman of the college department of agriculture[...] and a class in "beef production" with your instructor, Alvin Cleveland.
Not much else comes up other than the usual "locate people for a price" crap... I'll keep digging.
