Default UCLA Medical Center

Today, Michael Jackson died. I'm very sad and I've been listening to his songs all night. I went to the ER side of the UCLA medical center to see the side blocked off by cops. However, I should have also paid a visit to the front side to see all the people gathering; or visit his house to pay respects and give flowers. I ended up just shooting a little bit from the back side.

Fire Hydrant Disillusioned

The focus is on the fire hydrant, obviously, because I'm still in denial, that somebody who changed how we listen to music, how we danced, and how we saw the world, died at a relatively young age. (I know, I know, there have been others). I'm a huge music fanatic and for some reason, I just can't come to terms with it yet. So the picture somewhat deptics that I'm not seeing the full picture completely. The cops should be the main focus, but they're not. *The cops in the back were there, and they're facing the medical building (their backs are not to the medical building). They blocked off that street so nobody could get through.

In light of the colour theme, I'd like to leave him a flower I found. (since I didn't personally go visit his house to leave him a flower there)
Lonely Flower

The King of Pop has passed but his music will live on.

One colorful flower against an empty and stark background is an excellent expression of your sadness. Well done.

I like the shots and Im sorry you are feeling loss over MJ.

The Music Industry has lost the biggest icon since Elvis.

Society has lost a child molester. Im not sad. (I know this isnt the form for it, but this story is bigger than just the professional pop star)
