2006 | Avalon, Santa Catalina Island
I had been visiting Avalon since the early 1970’s, enjoying walks through the compact square-mile town and into the intentionally undeveloped remainder of the island. Just a few miles away from the coast and the gigantic sprawl of Los Angeles, the little village provided various delights within just a few steps – many of the lots are just eighteen feet wide.
In 2006, moments after I had committed to being more systematic in my survey of the town, I turned a corner and got this picture for the end of the series, long before the project had even gained its stride.
