Gas and Glamour

Meer over het boek

Ashok Sinha is a New York-based photographer whose large scale landscape photographs picture uncommon perspectives. He has been intrigued by Los Angeles's love affair with the automobile, tracing back to a time when cars were objects of beauty. Although those cars are no longer on the streets today, the buildings from that era remain. As an architectural photographer, he captures Los Angeles's car-culture-induced optimism and ambition reflected in polychromatic, star-spangled coffee shops, gas stations, and car washes that once lured the gaze of passing motorists.
