earthquake weather


Ed Ruscha's Every Building On The Sunset Strip

"But the feeling feeling in L.A. that the place was not safe - that hovering earthquake in the air - was why anyone in the trance even came down long enough to learn to thread a camera at all. They had to take their eye off what was probably the apocalypse and invent Theda Bara out of a girl from Cincinatti to make sense out of the light."
(L.A. Woman - Eve Babitz)

Getting my surrogate summer feelings through literary L.A. dreaming with Eve & Joan Didion .
