"A Day in the Life of California" 2004
Los Angeles – Five days old, Nicholas and Sophia Cohen remain close. 2004

Santa Cruz – Chris Gonzales, who prints vinyl stickers for Bro Prints, pushes an uncut batch from the printer over to the cutting department. “I like having the resources to play around with my own ideas,” says Gonzales. Who also sketches stickers. The company, which started with skateboard logos, now employs nine people and runs three presses to silkscreen T-shirts and stickers. 2004

 Malibu – muralist David Legaspi III puts the finishing touches on The Little Bridge Between the Mountain and the Sea, Where the Kelp Plant Meets the Sycamore Tree. Legaspi and 500 children from greater Los Angeles area painted the mural on the Pacific Coast Highway underpass in Leo Carillo State Park to commemorate the park’s 50th anniversary.  2004

'In Front of a Nightclub' by Jeff Wall (2006) - Vancouver-based artist Jeff Wall (Canadian, born 1946) has studied and practiced art since childhood. He is widely recognized as an innovative picture-maker whose dynamic photographs, both color and black-and-white, have affinities with painting and cinema. Their sense of scale comes from Wall's interest in the tradition of painting, and their methods of production from his fascination with cinematography.
 Wall has pioneered state-of-the-art film and digital techniques to compose meticulously staged scenes. At first glance they often appear to be snapshots but, on closer inspection, the multi-layered content sometimes seems too bizarre or complex to be real. He views himself as part painter, part movie director and part photographer, all three being part, in his opinion, of a single pictorial tradition. Some images are shot on location, others in his studio. The process may include paid actors and consultants, stage builders and Hollywood special effects experts.

  Here is what is often viewed as Wall’s most significant work, 1979’s Picture For Women. It is inspired in part by Edouard Manet’s painting Un bar aux Folies Bergère. This photograph was included in the 2013 exhibition entitled "A Sense of Place" at the Pier 24 Photography Gallery located on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.
