I'm attracted to the skyline of my native city because, on a few days every year, it's a spectacular combination of light and sky. This view of downtown Los Angeles won't exist much longer, as that crane in the middle attests to the coming of the Wilshire Grand. The gap will be filled, and the moon will not rise there anymore.

I began making photographs when I was 13 years old. I created a darkroom using a slide projector, some old food trays, and chemicals and paper my brother liberated from the neighbor's trash. 10 years later I was published in Time Magazine, and 10 years after that I was in graduate school studying political science. After more than 20 years studying, working, and teaching at UCLA I returned to my first love -- photography. Where the commercial work of my youth was mostly personalities (think 1980s television shows) I have always been drawn to landscapes, which are now my primary artistic focus. The photos I post here are a subset of my work. For the most recent stuff, visit my website www.joedohertyphotography.com.
