Patrick Romero: 28 Famous Views of Los Angeles
Friday, April 25, 2008
I first saw Patrick Romero’s work on his Flickr and have watched it grow over the past year or so. Last week, Patrick was kind enough to surprise me with a copy of his new book of photographs entitled 28 Famous Views of Los Angeles. The only thing I love more than getting mail is getting books as gifts in the mail.
Over the past month or so I’ve received a lot of these self-published books and have really enjoyed looking at the ways that photographers choose to assemble their work into book form, something that I consider an autonomous art in itself. Patrick’s book is a great example of what can be done with this inexpensive print-on-demand technology, how a very simple design and a well-considered sequence of photographs can come together to great effect.
Thanks again, Patrick.

Patrick is a great talent. He refuses to be boxed into any category. His perceptiveness and individuality are instantly recognizable. I love his work.

How do I get in contact with Patrick to get a copy of his new book. I’m in Australia with a broken email that won’t allow the hyperlink to his email to pop up.
