“Whatever one might think of L.A., it is actually something else,” says Michael Light inThe Believer. “It shifts constantly. Color work on an overcast day, the difference in seasons, puffy Hudson River School clouds in between spring rainstorms versus late-fall harshness—it’s startling.”
In conjunction with the release ofBoth Sides of Sunset: Photographing Los Angeles, a sequel to the acclaimed collectionLooking at Los Angeles, the Los Angeles-based photographer and artists Zoe Crosher, Bettina Hubby, Michael Shields, and Ed Templeton share their distinct visions of the city’s visual landscape in a panel discussion moderated by David L. Ulin of theLos Angeles Times.
