Submitter's name:	Scott Gomez
Title:	Witch's House
Gear used:	OM-2N + 35/2.8 Shift
Diaphragm:	f11 or f16
Shutter speed:	Automagic
Film used:	Kodak E100S
Technical information:	Nothing fancy. Lens was shifted for framing and to try to make sure verticals were straight. This was made more difficult by my forgetting to bring the 1-10 screen that day and the fact that there are few true verticals in this subject.
Subject information:	The house was supposed to have been "built 1921 for a Culver City movie studio and used in films until 1926 when it was moved" to its current location at 516 Walden Drive in Beverly Hills. Even the landscaping at the current location was supposed to have been deliberately chosen to be scraggly to contribute to the house's theme. I was surprised to find, as I started researching, that I can confirm exactly none of this information. At present, it appears to be suffering from neglect and perhaps abandonment.

When I first saw this I couldn't imagine who lived here. Glad it's just a witch.
