 “Dogtown” is a nickname for Santa Monica and nearby Venice, California, a moniker the area earned when it devolved into a seaside slum during the 1970s. Its history as the birthplace of skateboard culture is featured in the Sean Penn-narrated documentary “Dogtown and Z-Boys,” a story about a group of bad boy surfers who evolved the “passing fad” of clunky clay-wheeled skateboarding into a gracefully stylistic art form all its own.
Today, Venice Beach Skateboard Park serves as a monument of sorts to those headier days. It features a sunken, serpentine pool where nervous novices and seasoned pros take turns riding creamy waves of cement. And as you can see from the photo, skateboarding is no longer limited to just Z-Boys. Pictured: Molly Maginnis-Ramey  I love behind-the-scenes photography. I took this shot at The LA Fashion Show in early October, which was held in downtown Los Angeles at The LA Athletic Club.
Featured is ace photographer Scotty Moson and model/designer Mina Jay, who is wonderful to work with. Photo credit: Robert Borowski, The LA Fashion Show  Sometimes the summer sky does beautiful things. This shot didn't need any tweaking in post. It just...was. Venice Beach, California.
