Paul Jasmin

California Dreaming

KORTE INHOUD

California Dreaming is photographer Paul Jasmin's celebration of the climate and the youth of Los Angeles, a city he has lovingly documented in previous volumes such as Hollywood Cowboy and Lost Angeles . Most of the photographs printed here were shot in and around Jasmin's fascinating apartment on Wilshire Boulevard (in a building that William Randolph Hearst once bought as a love-nest for Marion Davies), and express both the dreams of the youths Jasmin photographs and Jasmin's own candidly vicarious reveling in their youth and the future before them:"that is my fantasy life," he avows, "they keep me dreaming."
California Dreaming makes the ultimate argument for Los Angeles as a golden mirage of both glamorous aspiration and sunsoaked leisure, and also describes Jasmin's additional roles as a teacher at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena-where he meets most of his subjects in this monograph- and as a legendary Hollywood host and connoisseur of the city's many charms.
