Looking at Los Angeles

Managing editor of a large-format, photographic exploration of the city of Los Angeles

Looking at Los Angeles is a fascinating journey into the center of the city’s heart and soul. Pictured within its pages is a Los Angeles of powerful dreams and startling realities. Editors Marla Hamburg Kennedy and Ben Stiller have gathered pictorial representations of Los Angeles from the last three-quarters of a century, resulting in this selection of more than 200 stunning, beautifully reproduced color and duotone depictions of the city from different eras and different points of view.

As managing editor of this book I worked with the team at Metropolis magazine (Metropolis Books is a joint venture between D.A.P. and Metropolis), in particular editor Diana Murphy, who was the lead on this project and was the main contact with the book’s editors. I also helped to keep production schedule and budget; and liaised with the printer.
