A visit to Southern California turns out to be the perfect opportunity to tackle some lesser-known sites with a couple of film cameras and some old rolls of film.
Unduly influenced by black & white movies (from the Marx Brothers to Jimmy Cagney), and longing for a gaberdine to mimic the understated swagger of Humphrey Bogart, I was thoroughly preoccupied with being, by my own definition, cool. “Why photography?” you might have asked. “Because I can,” would have been my surly reply.
