Editorial Reviews

Review

"Gary Leonard's photography captures the humanity, heart, and humor of the City of Angels as no one else can. Gary and his work are a true Los Angeles treasures." -- Richard Riordan, Mayor, City of Los Angeles

"No one has an eye on L.A. quite like Gary Leonard. His new book is abundant proof of his power of observation (even if he didn't take my picture)." -- Steve Harvey, Only in L.A. columnist, Los Angeles Times

"This is Gary Leonard's vision of 'tough love' for the city he photographs more brilliantly than anyone in the world." -- Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz and Ecology of Fear

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best photographers of our time., November 13, 1999
By 
This review is from: Take My Picture Gary Leonard: Los Angeles (Paperback)
One of the best photographers of our time or of any time. Gary Leonard has that rare gift of the photographer's eye that captures "the" shot. Complex in its simplicity. It is what many a serious a photographer works too achieve. Gary Leonard is a natural. He's the real thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A diamond in the rough, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Take My Picture Gary Leonard: Los Angeles (Paperback)
The sheer simplicity of Gary Leonard's work might cause you to initially overlook it, but don't. Leonard is close to becoming a national treasure and, fortunately, someone was smart enough to publish a collection of his work. It's funny, weird, passionate and poignant all at once. And I couldn't believe that every page was better than than the last. Gary Leonard is so cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captures It All: Quintessential of Why "I Love L.A.", April 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Take My Picture Gary Leonard: Los Angeles (Paperback)
No one sees L.A. the way Gary Leonard does; this compendium of his life's work--so far--says it all. From the famous to the infamous to the dreaded, downtrodden and dreary, he finds them all in L.A. A must read for anyone in a love/hate relationship with Southern California who wants to be reminded just why.
