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

Feature - Pascal Shirley
I came across Pascal Shirley's work via Conscientious the other day and was really happy I clicked through, as I ended up spending some time with the work. The series I like the most is The Other's Body, made up of images of what I take to be the photographer's girlfriend - a modern day, color version of Callahan's Eleanore or Weston's Charis etc. I've mostly chosen images from this series but have thrown in a few more from his other series too, which merit a look. Pascal received his MFA from California College of the Arts and lives in Venice Beach.
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.
