Religion

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/religion

Though there is much debate about the existence of God, there is no debate about the existence of religion and its influence in the world. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. Music is my religion. My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site.

Baylight

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/baylight

Means recording light. In this series of images of the Santa Monica Bay and its environs, the subject is the light itself. Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. George Eastman. I think that light and shadow have exactly the same duality that exists between life and death. Let there be light. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site.

Hollywood

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/hollywood

Hollywood is the industry of illusions. I’ve peered beyond the glitzy and glamorous façade in search of the real Hollywood and found touching cinematic moments: light-hearted moments as if from a romantic comedy; dark moments as if from a post-apocalyptic sci-fi dystopia …. In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo. Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

Urban Fauna

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/urban-fauna

It appears that you can take the man out of the jungle but that it’s difficult to take the jungle out of the man. Cities can be seen as urban jungles and when you look closely you see that, like real jungles, they are populated by a plethora of animals, though none of these animals are wild and some of them exist only in two dimensions. The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site. Larry's Los Angeles Stock Photo site.

Dark Road

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/dark-road

One day on the Oregon coast it was dark and wet and there was hardly another soul on the road …. Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. J R R Tolkien. Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate. J R R Tolkien. Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site.

Chairs

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/chair

They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles. Whether it be a chair discarded in an alley that was taped repeatedly in the hopes of salvaging it for just a few more days of service or if it was a gilded specimen exhibited prominently in a window on Rodeo Drive, one can imagine the narrative and trajectory that eventually leading to their public display. Need I say that these chairs are a metaphor? A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface used to sit on, commonly for use by one person.

Ad Infinitum

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/adinfinitum

Ads are everywhere. They are like water to fish, like oxygen to us. Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century. As for editorial content, that’s the stuff you separate the ads with. Lord Thomson of Fleet. Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket. I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second. Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site. Larry's Los Angeles Stock Photo site.

Festivals

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/festivals

The human spirit craves more than a few good meals a day and a roof overhead. That’s why there are festivals celebrating flowers, comic book characters, clowns, mermaids, drag queens, the Civil War …. At these events people’s true selves are set free and you sense that the magenta wigs, the orange, thigh-high boots and the water gun bow-ties are the normal attire and the business suit is the costume.

New York

http://www.brownsteinimages.com/new-york

I was born in New York but I didn’t really appreciate the city until I left. Now I make an annual pilgrimage to see and photograph the city. For photographers New York is like Mecca. Give me such shows give me the streets of Manhattan! Cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris a woman, and New York a well-adjusted transsexual. The skyline of New York is a monument of a splendor that no pyramids or palaces will ever equal or approach. Larry's portrait and wedding photography site.
