Gary Leonard has been photographing Los Angeles for 40 years. He first made a name for chronicling the city's punk clubs and nightlife. He's centered mostly in Downtown now, and has a gallery called Take My Picture on the same block of Broadway as the Orpheum Theater and Broadway Bar.
His long-running series Take My Picture Gary Leonard is now based at LA Observed, appearing on Thursdays. Click to enlarge any photo.
