A blog about photography in Los Angeles and the west coast in general.

Feature - Billie Mandle
Billie Mandle grew up in CA and now lives in Brooklyn and teaches at ICP. Her Reconciliation series portrays empty confessionals in Catholic churches and reminds me of how spooky it seemed in those things as a child. I like how they have a still life feel despite a lack of actual objects.
The idea behind this blog is driven by my perceived lack of community for photographers and enthusiasts in Los Angeles. The photography scene seems quite fragmented compared to New York, which is where the title comes from. New Yorkers are blessed with an established community and resources that us Angelenos are just going to have to create for ourselves. I hope for this blog to become a way for us to do just that - network, keep up to date on photo related happenings, and grow our community into one that promotes photography in the region. After all, we can shoot too.
