California is a Place


California is loaded. From Disneyland to farmland, we’ve got Scientology and superstars, Silicon and silicone, crips and bloods. The border. Krunkin’ Clownin’ Jerkin’. The surf and the turf. The boom and the bust. California is humanity run amuck and then packaged, branded and sold. California Cuisine, California Love, California Casual, California Gold, California Girls, and of course, California Dreams. If it exists in the world, it exists here and it does so with pizzaz.

Obviously, we love this stuff. That’s why we’re doing this project. Simply put, California is sensational. And the closer we look the better it gets: words and images, stories and songs, opinions and ideas. This project is ongoing. We hope you like what you see and say so. We plan to post often. So until that day, when we finally float off into the Pacific, California is a place. Stay tuned.

I stumbled upon from a link to link and found myself at California is a Place. A website with a collection of stories that we as Californians may not have a chance to really look at but we are aware of. The site is run by Drea Cooper & Zackary Canepari and truthfully, I can't wait to see more of their work !

I posted my favorite story, Big Vinny above. What he talks about in the car business, I can see shades of it here in the photography business.

Just go to California is a Place and check out the videos.
