I'm doing a painting that includes the Chateau Marmont. It has a dark background, so I want to represent the shades/colors that would be present at night. Problem is, I have been unable to find any shots of the place at night (just the lit up neon signs come up when I search, or celebrities leaving the joint.) Can any of you 'shoppers here lend me a hand? I'm not really talented enough to just go "oh, here's my building, adjust for night vision, viola!" I need lots of references for any work I do (I had my friend do the sketch of the building for me because she's taken several architectural drawing classes.)

Here's a shot to play with, though if you find any others that suit you better, feel free to use/post them instead.

Do a search on Flickr for "chateau marmont". Quite a few night shots pop up. :BB:
