Chavez Ravine, 1949 : A Los Angeles Story
by Don Normark, 1999 $29.95 (less discount) |
|---|---|
| In
1949, photographer Don Normark walked up into the hills
of Los Angeles, looking for a good view. Instead, he
found Chvez Ravine, a ramshackle Mexican-American
neighborhood tucked away in Elysian Park like a "poor
man's Shangri-la." Enchanted, he stayed for a year in
this uniquely intact rural community on the city's
outskirts. This haunting book captures their images,
their stories, and their bittersweet memories,
reclaiming and celebrating this lost village from a
simpler time. | |
