California Dreamers -- Sally Davies

<b><i>California Dreamers</i></b><b> is an intimate fly-on-the-wall photographic<br>study of over 70 Californians, along with their personal testimonies and tales, <br>revealing life behind closed doors in this iconic US state.</b></p> <p/>California, the<br>Golden State, is steeped in cliché like almost nowhere else: palm trees, <br>beach-blonde surfers, aspiring actors and tail-finned cars, all bathed in<br>endless sunshine. Sally Davies, acclaimed New York photographer and author of <i>New<br>Yorkers</i>, heads west to capture the images and listen to the voices of<br>everyday Californians in their own homes, hoping to delve beneath the<br>ubiquitous stereotypes. She finds light and space, swimming pools and enticing<br>views of the stunning natural surroundings encroaching through the walls.<br>Posing for her in bedrooms, garages and patios, Davies discovers vibrant<br>multicultural communities, eccentric stories of hopes and dreams, tales of<br>gridlocked traffic, urban sprawl, air pollution and all aspects of the<br>entertainment industry. Among the voices are well-known figures, Linda Ramone<br>and actor Eric McCormack, accompanied by a cast of models, producers, a<br>high-court judge, artists, stylists, writers, musicians, lawyers, magicians and<br>many more. <br></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Sally Davies<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ammonite Press<br><b>Published:</b> 09/12/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 2.05lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10
