Capitol Records Tower

The Ask A Ninja DVD Release Party was right down the block from the lengendary Capitol Records Tower, so I made a point to shoot both a sunset and nightime photo of this Hollywood landmark. Located at Hollywood and Vine, it has been headquarters of Capitol Records since 1956 and it holds the distinction of being the world’s first cylindrical office building. It was built to resemble a stack of 45’s on a record player spindle, based on a suggestion by Nat King Cole and Johnny Mercer.
