It can be hard to see Los Angeles with fresh eyes. Whether it is exalted for its glamour, mocked for its vanity, reviled for its artifice, or condemned for its sprawl, the city is emblematic. Even individual streets and intersections--Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip, and Florence and Normandy--hold a place in our modern mythology.In the photographic book Looking at Los Angeles (Metropolis Books, May 2005), Marla Hamburg Kennedy and Ben Stiller (yes, that Ben Stiller) seek to challenge conventional perspectives.
