This is big -- kind of huge for me! Psyched to be heading to Los Angeles!
Next weekend, January 30-31, several of my prints will be at Classic Photographs Los Angeles, thanks to Catherine Couturier of Catherine Couturier Gallery, who will be exhibiting there with other top photography dealers.
Where: Bonhams, 7601 W. Sunset Blvd. More info: classicphotographsla.com
After that, I’ll be in LA for the April 1 opening of a group photography exhibition – photos of vintage neon signs – at the new Museum of Neon Art (MONA). Thrilled that three photos of mine were selected for the MONA exhibition, which will be on the museum’s walls for a couple of months.
If you’ll be in LA next weekend: Come to Bonhams – there’ll be lots of incredible photos there to see (and to purchase)!
And on Friday, April 1: Come to MONA in Glendale – see me, this photography exhibition, and more at the museum!
This is the first that some of you are hearing that I’ll be in LA in late March and early April. Looking forward to seeing many of you during that trip!

Contributor David Hay has commentary on LA, Lautner, and the ethics of destroying landmark architecture.

Wright matters:
Dramatic, historic and prices slashed, yet no buyers are biting - chicagotribune.com
In Los Angeles, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House and La Miniatura remain on the market, despite significant price reductions/buyer incentives. Begs the architectural stewardship question: Who is willing and able to take care of these historic homes?

More Wright stuff:
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House, a Los Feliz hilltop masterpiece composed of patterned and smooth concrete blocks that has been mightily threatened by man and Mother Nature, is being offered for sale at $15 million by the private foundation that has been restoring it.
