    Beautiful Photos, fills a niche

    As a former resident of LA, I have been looking for a nice book of LA photos for awhile, but they are all like $50 to $100 or more. Now this book comes along and it is only $27, and the pictures are as beautiful as any I've seen in the more expensive books. Bay covered most of the usual suspects, such as Watts Towers, Grauman's Chinese, Beverly Hills Hotel, etc., but he got some unusual ones as well. Check out the wild dragon sand sculpture. This is really the only LA photo book available at a reasonable price, and it is top-notch.

    Stunning Images

    This book is filled with crisp, artful images. Many are hauntingly beautiful. It¿s a must have for anyone who loves California. I¿ve added it to my California photography collection. Anyone who happens to see the book on my coffee table is compelled to look at every single image. Stephen Bay is definitely a photographer with a bright future ahead of him. Beautiful! A must have!
