Just Above Sunset Photography takes as its subject matter pretty much all of Los Angeles, with a special emphasis on Hollywood. 

Here you find images of everything from architectural studies to what seems to be "real life" here in Hollywood, and Hollywood history, to the beaches, to the array of odd Los Angeles neighborhoods, to nature photography with a special emphasis on local botanicals.  And along with extensive architecture studies, from Hollywood in the Art Deco Golden Age to the severely modern, there are all the strange cars out here. And there are those special events, like the Rose Parade and various premieres at the Chinese Theater. And there was that ride in the Goodyear Blimp and in a restored World War II bomber. For a photographer out here, this is a target-rich environment. The site is usually updated daily.

The site is arranged as follows -

Our Man in Paris, Ric Erickson, knows me far too well.

"The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget." ~ John Berger
