Light vs. Dark

Los Angeles is at once a sun-drenched paradise and a city of shadows. Charles is the champion of all things Los Angeles and mid-century pop culture. He collects Kodachrome slides of everyday life and gives humorous slide show presentations of Americana. Rick is a professional set photographer whose career was launched when his photos of LA gang life captured the attention of Sean Penn. He rescued the LAPD's historical crime scene photo archive, which offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday life and the darker side of Los Angeles going back 100 years.
