Album: Filming for “Geisha” begins

I visited the filming of "Memoirs of a Geisha" yesterday afternoon around 4pm.  It was crowded, but orderly. I didn’t any obvious evidence of substantially worse degradation than had occurred during the building of the set.

I was impressed with the low level of impact on the neighborhood, given the sheer amount of activity.  With the buses and parking out of the neighborhood, the biggest impact on local streets was from locals who came to get a look at the action.

The biggest impact was probably on the parking lot for the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, which had been designated the "Base Station" and was filled with trucks and trailers.
