Julius Shulman's Los Angeles

Julius Schulman is a brilliant architectural photographer best known for his picture of Case Study House #22. ------>

There is an exhibition at the central library downtown where you can see over 150 rarely seen photos.
This is pretty cool too...
"The exhibition will also include renderings of current urban developments underway, so that visitors can compare Shulman’s historic photographic perspectives with images of Los Angeles’ future. "

It runs through January 20, so check it.

The central library is quite magical too.
