excavate

Last year Liz's book arrived on the shelves, a book I had the opportunity to be a part of.  This year, Liz is working through her book and she'd love for you to join her. Below, is my contribution.

Photo walking in Los Angeles is very different than New York. When I'd go to Manhattan, my only plan was deciding what subway station stop to emerge from, the corridors of Manhattan a box full of jewels waiting for me. 


Los Angeles proper, is not a large place. When one hears of Los Angeles, it's really L.A. county that's being talked about. A vast, sprawling metropolis made up of little cities and towns spreading over 4,752 square miles. 


I'm incredibly fortunate to live in a little city by the sea with a surplus of elements to shoot. And while I love the beach and everything that goes with it, (especially when I'm out with my arsenal of cameras), I possess an urban heart.


My photo walks here on the west coast are all about the destination, we are a driving culture after all. I look to the streets and neighborhoods in the 90001 for inspiration when I'm planning a day of shooting. 


What do I want to see? What am I hoping to capture?
