LA through the eyes of a Los Angeleno

Check out Faces of Sunset: A Portrait of Los Angeles, by LA photographer Patrick Ecclesine. He does a good job of capturing all the messy glory of Sunset Blvd.

I grant Patrick artistic license, but I don't like the fact that he didn't photograph Echo Park Lake, which is in my neighborhood, and is one of the prettiest and most special places in Los Angeles. Echo Park Lake is home to the largest lotus garden in the US. Contrary to the photographer, my neighborhood is not as shitty a place as his few photos makes it look. (Yes, I am a little hurt.)

Wikipedia has a good take on Echo Park.
