Description: Kevin McCollister wandered the dimly lit streets of Los Angeles, and his visual poems are assembled in this book. His subjects range from the many bridges, taco stands, hotels, buildings and details of architectural infrastructure to those who people inhabit these same locations. 

"You will find, as I did, this work to be a pithy, gritty look at present day
LA done with the eye of an artist."
-Phil Jackson, NBA coach and author

"McCollister's photos are luscious and meditative, conceptual and concrete, painterly and documentary, both Hopper-esque and matter of fact, giving us shadows and depths powerful enough to break through all the noir, bizarro, and sunshine cliches about Los Angeles. Beauty and reality strike equally and hard, giving exquisite and tactile composition to the act, and facts, of seeing."
-Fred Dewey, author
