Product Review: Take a visual journey through California! The extraordinary photographs showcased in California 24/7 are an extension of the America 24/7 project, an unprecedented digital photography venture that harnessed the talents of more than 25,000 local photographers in all 50 states. This remarkable book showcases 734 incredible images adding up to a panoramic view of life-in-progress across the Golden State. You ll discover heartwarming photographs that perfectly capture the spirit of the state, with images of: Dawn-patrol surfers boogieing on a clean south swell A San Jose girl in a princess dress getting ready for her quinceanera A single man in Claremont tending to his 4 adopted children Modoc County ranch hands chowing down at lunchtime An interactive gaming professional throwing a convention in L.A. And more! From the badlands of Zabriskie Point to the snowy heights of Mt. Shasta, from a Visalia square dance to a levitating Corvette on Venture Boulevard, California is a great big bazaar where American finds its future. The visions collected in this album show us West Coast grandeur and reveal the human intimacies inside, where the heart is.
I love this book and the pictures are amazing!
