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.

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.

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.
