Life as art

Is this a Kandinsky? Or perhaps an early piece from Miro? An abstract painting this is not. Rather, this is a fantastic photograph, which looks like it was taken somewhere on the outskirts of Downtown L.A.

If inside a warehouse or an artist's dimly-lit studio, the photographer captured the perfect frame for the U.S. Bank Tower of the Downtown skyline.

Most of the windows here are painted over or covered in colored tissue paper to make an interesting and surprising shot. Wish I could have a huge print of this for my living room.

Summer sunsets are something to behold on the West Coast. And, if you are into neighborhoods and little corners of Los Angeles, few people could argue that more beautiful skylines can be found anywhere else than on the Westside. 

The photo above is Pico and La Cienega, filled with dark billboards and a grayed-out backdrop.

This one was taken at the Westside Pavillion, looking out to Westwood. Look at all that color!

 

And lastly, how could we leave you without an ocean shot. This is Santa Monica, including the historic pier. Very dreamy.

This photo titled "Glamour" comes to us from Tom Andrews. We filed it in an album called Only in L.A.

Only in L.A., indeed. This shot really personifies part of L.A. culture. Don't have perfect hair? Buy it. Don't have fashionable clothes? Nails? Skin? Purchase. Purchase. Purchase.

A fittingly gorgeous black and white poster in a storefront window calls out to passersby. Holly Golightly never looked so good.

We wonder how much glamour is going for these days, if gas is nearing $5.00 in some L.A. neighborhoods.
