Patrick Romero: 28 famous views of los angeles

Too long ago for me to only be writing about it now, Patrick Romero sent me a copy of his self-published 28 famous views of los angeles. My delay in writing about the book should in no way be seen as a commentary on the work itself—it’s beautiful, the kind of book I aspire to producing myself someday. In twenty-eight photographs—a mix of portraits and landscapes and street photography—he finds a way to evoke the essence of Los Angeles, which is no easy task.

I had my copy sitting on my desk. S. and I were on our way out the door, and I thought he was right behind me. When I realized he wasn’t, I went back to my office and found him sitting in my chair, looking at the book. “This is good,” he said. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Word is, Patrick may have a few copies left for sale. Snag one while they’re still available.

P.S. Thanks, Patrick, for sending a copy my way.
