AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

I think cities are intrinsically beautiful because they are formed though contradicting energies that are in both conflict and in harmony with each other. The more chaotic and unplanned a city is, the more beautiful and spontaneous it can be. People have criticized Los Angeles for being soulless and superficial but as a photographer I think Los Angeles has one of the world’s most beautiful and defined skylines - it is a towering homage to glass, steel and money amid a flat sea of dull and dreary suburban housing. When I look out at the city from the Getty Center at night, I am amazed that man has outshone the heavens and I gaze at the millions of different points of light knowing that millions of different dramas are all unfolding parallel to each other.
