That Evening Sun is a photo-journal of life, love and interminable lasting on LA’s Skid Row
by Suitcase Joe
I didn’t get a quote after meeting this gentlemen, but often while I’m walking around I think about the many great authors who lived in and wrote about downtown Los Angeles and its Skid Row. Charles Bukowski, Edward Bunker, Raymond Chandler, and John Fante are amongst my favorites. I’m not one much for quoting others, but I always loved this passage from John Fante’s book, Ask The Dust, and it often crosses my mind when I’m on a walk through these streets. “Los Angeles, give me some of you! Los Angeles come to me the way I came to you, my feet over your streets, you pretty town I loved you so much, you sad flower in the sand, you pretty town!”
