Downtown in Detail: Close-Up on the Historic Buildings of Los Angeles Paperback -
by Zimmerman, Tom
From the jacket flap
In Downtown in Detail, Tom Zimmerman goes inside and finds long-forgotten penthouses, windows that provide more than light, and stairways that really might lead to heaven. These same details have been hidden by progress, by the advent of skyscrapers that locked us in elevators, and by the pace of life that drew our eyes down to the cold reality of cracks in the sidewalk instead of up, up and away to the dreams of those master designers. Zimmerman takes us back to those dreams with photos as dreamy as they come.
In the words of Linda Dishman, executive director of the Los Angeles Conservancy -- a woman who spends her every day saving the historic sites of Los Angeles -- "This book is much more than a window into the past. The vast majority of buildings pictured are still here, right now. I hope you'll take these photos as inspiration to go Downtown and see them firsthand . . . in Tom Zimmerman's remarkable photographs, we see the details that are there, waiting for each of us to rediscover, enjoy, and preserve for future generations."
