My work is based on the streets of Los Angeles. These streets are very far removed from the glamour of Hollywood. I believe they present a view of Los Angeles that is rarely acknowledged, except perhaps by Charles Bukowski.
Additonally, I have a book, East of West LA, which has been reviewed in several print and online venues.

Kevins photos from the streets of LA are uncompromised and with great integrity - some of the strongest street portraits I have come across.

I also sense the pleasure he derives from meeting these people, from photographying them and acknowledging their presence, their lives ans their contribution to a society just by being who they are.
His approach is without superfluity, though never gross. He in fact reveals some subtleties of his encounters with discretion.
Thank you for sharing.
