hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
it appears you have been stealing pictures from the Los Angeles Times because the snow caped mountain ones were shot by Times photographers

Gorgeous!
Hi Denny: Great pix! I love the fact that you had a focus of interest on the non-touristy (i.e., celebrities, beaches, "plastic" people, Beverly Hills, wealth, etc.) side of L.A. like the downtown area. I also love that you focused on public transportation and actually used it. I take the Red Line every day to the Hollywood and Highland station since I work in the Hollywood and Highland complex directly above the station. Thanks for showing a side of my city that many locals have no familiarity with since they spend too much time in their cars and complaining.

Hi Denny,I loooove your picture,I never seen picture like that before of L.A. I live in Long Beach, I am not that far from L.A. But once an a while I have to go to L.A. for a walk.

Great City, Great Pics
Denny, Great pictures of the great city of Los Angeles. Jaimee
— Jaimee, August 21, 2005

RE:Nice Ride
Hi Caroline. Yes, it is expensive to live there but a great place to visit and the Los Angeles coast is just beautiful especially in the wee hours of the morning before the sun comes up and watching the sunset over the Pacific from Venice Beach is just awesome. Denny
— Denny, July 3, 2005

Nice Ride!
Hi Denny, You pictures are nice, you did a nice tour and I understand you fell in love with the city, I did too and move there. I can tell you that if you go next time rent a car and go on the cost it's really nice and don't forget Venice Beach! I have live there for 5 years and finally decided to move outside CA, too much people and expensive to live and own a house but I always go back every years to see my friends. there are so much to see there now you need to go around and you will be surprise how this golden state have so much to offer!
— Caroline, June 25, 2005

We were undecided on where to go this summer for our vacation. After seeing your beautiful pictures of Los Angeles we now know where we will be spending our vacation. We made reservations at the Los Angeles Hyatt Regency in the city center for a weeks stay and thanks to your pics of Vegas we will be taking an over night trip there for some serious gambling. We like your pics of the Excaliber on the strip so that's where we will spend the night.
— Joseph H Christian, June 23, 2005

Los Angeles & Vegas
Hi Denny, I love your pictures of Los Angeles and Vegas. I live just outside of Vegas in Henderson NV and I lived there for 3 years now. I came here for job opportunities. I make trips to Los Angeles to see my relatives. I showed them your pictures and they just loved them. I look forward for more updated pictures.
— Alicia, June 3, 2005

I love your pictures Denny. There's something for everybody in Los Angeles.
— Heidi Yost, May 23, 2005

A Great City to See
I just came back from a trip to Los Angeles. It was my first time to see this city in person and I enjoyed every minute of it. Los Angeles has such a wide choice of attractions (studio tours, theme parks, historic venues etc.) that it would take more than a year or two to see all of them. Los Angeles has something like 315 museums alone. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect vacation getaway to see Los Angeles and stay a few weeks.
— Bart, May 17, 2005

I have traveled the world to many cities and taken many pictures. Let's face it. Los Angeles is one of the best photogenic cities in the world. Los Angeles, as shown in your pictures has a great many variety of beautiful sceneries that I never get tired of.
— Esmerelda, April 27, 2005

I'm in Love
I love your pictures and I fell in love with Los Angeles too. I must see this city in person. Look's like a beautiful city and a fun place to visit.
— Mindy, March 23, 2005

I took pics on vacations in Los Angeles and Vegas recently but your Los Angeles pics are just beautiful with the snowy mountains. The mountains had no snow when I was there last July. The pics I took in Vegas was of the strip just like yours but it was too hot to spend much time outdoors so I didn't get too many pics of the strip. My hats off to you for bearing the desert heat and taking such good pictures.
— Noreen B, March 10, 2005

Cheers for having two wonderful photo albums the one about Los Angeles and the other one about Vegas. I've been to both cities.
— Bob Hatcher, February 13, 2005

Hy i'm french and i dream about USA, i would like to live there, and these pictures renforce this wish... thx (sorry if i made some mistakes...)

Los Angeles Costs
Does anyone know about how much it will cost a couple staying in Los Angeles for 5 days. Please include hotel and meals plus a 3 thousand dollar allowance for entertainment, gifts, theater and tour tickets.
— Leonardo, November 24, 2004

I'm From Los Angeles
Hi Denny and a billion thanks for the great job you did about my home city. I moved down to Diego County after I joined the navy but I take trips up to Los Angeles with my navy buddies, many of whom are also from Los Angeles and area. These trips we take home helps to ease the sometimes painful homesickness that occassionally hits us. Your website helps a great deal too.
— Frank Ohara, November 10, 2004

Thank you for taking the time to share your pictures of LA. I was born there in 1958 but my family moved down to Houston Texas when I was 15 and all of us kids just hated it but it got my dad a job in an oil refinery. None of us has been back to Los Angeles since then. Your pictures show me how much the city has grown and changed since we moved in 1973. Subways in Los Angeles? And all those tall buildings. We don't have anything down here in Texas that compares to all that and those pictures of the snow on the mountains are just beautiful. I want to come home.
— Torsha Franklin, November 6, 2004

I took my family on a California trip during last July. We made stops in Coronado, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Sacramento and the Bay Area. We had a great time and especially in Los Angeles.

— Alex, August 11, 2004

Awesome photos, Denny!
And if any of you are visiting Los Angeles, come say hi to us -- we've got lots of friendly natives!

Los Angeles must be beautiful this time of year but we have plans to go there this summer. This will be our first trip and we are looking forward to seeing the sights, especially the views from the Griffith Park observatory.
— Redkin, April 12, 2004

Been there. Great city.

Sharella, I'll take an N.Y. winter over a Chicago winter anyday.
— Timothy, April 9, 2004

Love That City
We'll be coming to Los Angeles this summer. After seeing your pics we know what we plan to do. We're looking forward to getting a piece of that summer sun and fun.
— Fran, April 8, 2004

wonderful pictures
Great pictures. I'm from NY but will be visiting LA in May of 2004 with my 7yo child. Just looking at your pictures I might just move there. (for the winter that is!!!!!!!!)
— Sharella, April 6, 2004

Awesome Pics
Great pics of a great city.
— Max R, April 4, 2004

Nice pics. Los Angeles is also my favorite city in California.
— Rachel, March 28, 2004

I just saw Los Angeles last January and the sight of the city with the mountains and snow was absolutely gorgeous. The air was crisp and clear during my week stay. I'm looking forward to going back.
— Russel Tice, March 20, 2004

Excellent!!!
I went to L.A. and toured California/Nevada in May of 2002 and these are by far the best piccies I've seen. I'm due to go back again May 2004 and lloking at these photos makes me wish I could be there today. What a great idea, I'd do the same but my camera work is definitely not as good as yours!!!!!!! Cheers for making my day Alex "ILOVELA"
— Alex, March 18, 2004

We had visited Los Angeles last summer for our honeymoon and we are going back this summer with friends to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. This will be our friends first trip to the beautiful city of Los Angeles.

Nice pictures...
Los Angeles, a great city...I´ve been there recently and you took very good shots
— gtnsde, February 5, 2004

I visited and toured Los Angeles last summer on a two weeks trip to southern California that included Santa Barbara, Oceanside and Coronado. Mine was also a "Fantastic Los Angeles Vacation".
— Davina Chase, January 16, 2004

These city pictures are high quality.. They make me wanna visit LA
— Rose, January 15, 2004

Pride
Denny: Your pictures make me proud of my hometown. You've really brought out the beauty of L.A. here. Thank you so much.
— Jane Lapham, January 4, 2004

Home For The Holidays
We're coming home (to Los Angeles) this Thanksgiving. You pictures are very good, makes us want to be there right now.
— J Bacara, November 19, 2003

I love your pictures but there's nothing like being there as I had done this past summer. I had fun seeing the sights and riding the metro rail subway. I stayed at the Holiday Inn near Staples Center. My vacation in Los Angeles was also fantastic.
— Cori, November 15, 2003

I live down in Diego County California. I'm originally from Chicago. Sometimes I come up to Los Angeles just to get away. Los Angeles is much like Chicago so going up there eases my home sickness.
— Frank Bergur, November 9, 2003

Over the years I've seen many pics of the mountains with snow behind Los Angeles and yours is one of the better ones.
— Gladys Beal, November 2, 2003

Mt Baldy can also be seen in the background of the picture titled "Los Angeles in Winter".
— Jake, October 25, 2003

In Denny's last picture, the tallest mountain behind the city is Mt Baldy.
— Jake, October 25, 2003

Record Snowfall in Los Angeles County
To Diane Archibald, October 8, 2003

Unbelievable that you lived in Los Angeles all those years (1969-72) and you have never seen snow on the San Gabriel's. Back in January 1969 there was record snowfall on Mt Baldy which set the snowfall record (up to that time) in Los Angeles county.
— Jake, October 25, 2003

I was born in Los Angeles but I moved out to the east coast. Looking at your pictures helps ease some of my homesickness. I love the way you buck the trend and show the real Los Angeles, not just the beaches and mansions. I showed your pictures to friends who have never been to Los Angeles and they just love it. One of my friends who is also from Los Angeles but moved here more than 20 years ago said she didn't recognize the city since there was so many changes. She only recognized the city hall and a few skyscrapers like the Arco towers. Thank you for sharing your vacation with us.
— Lisa P, October 12, 2003

I'm a native and your pics of my hometown are some of the best I have ever seen in my entire life. I hope you add more.
— James F Mack, October 11, 2003

So Lucky!
We locals sometimes take our home for granted. Thanks for capturing "home" so beautifully!
— Connie, October 9, 2003

Remarkable City is Correct Definition
Los Angeles is like a Jekell and Hyde, this city has many different disguises. We think of LA as a warm place to be in the winter and much of that is true but sometimes it turns cold as shown by your winter pic. Not a good thing for the unprepared who packed only walking shorts and suntan lotion. We also think of Los Angeles as a car city even though there is more than 400 miles of train service. You have proved that Los Angeles is not only mansions and the beach, stuff we see on TV, there is a real city beyond that. Yes Denny, a fantastic vacation of this remarkable city.
— Matthew Cupp, October 8, 2003

Nice City
Denny, just like you I've seen Los Angeles (and other parts of California) at different times. This is my favorite city in all of California and one of my favorite cities in the USA. I'll be taking another trip to Los Angeles next Spring.
— Carol Ohara, October 8, 2003

I lived in L.A. 69--72 and never saw snow on the San Gabrial Mts.!! Great shot
— Diane Archibald, October 8, 2003

Great pics....we're coming to LA in a few weeks, hope it's as good looking as your photos.
— Jeff, October 7, 2003

A Different City
I'm originally from Los Angeles, having moved down to Texas in the early 70's. I have seen the city develop over the years into a world class city, far different from the one I left 30 years ago, a depressed area with transients filling up Pershing Square and vacant buildings everywhere. I understand that the downtown now has many fine restaurants, the Staples Center, a subway system, 5 star hotels, a first class shopping area and nice places to live. I plan to take a trip soon to see first hand the changed city. Your pictures are worth a thousand complimentary words.
— John Mann, October 7, 2003

Congratulations of photo of the week! So glad to see the good ol' USA made it! Nice job!
— stephanie saniga, October 7, 2003

My Fantastic Los Angeles Vacation
I've lived in Los Angeles since 1963 and have seen many photos of our city. Denny Pierce's photos are tops. I've never seen such great shots. Congratulations! The L. A. Tourist Board should hire him.
— Lynda Calhoun, October 6, 2003

I love that pic of Los Angeles in the winter. I was born in LA but I moved out to the Bay Area when my banking company transfered me in 1998. I do miss the snow. I come home every holiday season but I never have the time to drive up to the San Gabriel mountains. I am going to make a copy and hang it on my office wall. Thank you for a great picture.
— Corrina, October 6, 2003

Congratulations!
I like your reporting style – clear & detail! “Morning Rush Hour Commuters” is the photos that I like most – fully reflecting the busy life in LA! Keep up your good works!
— Seet Ying, October 6, 2003

Great photos of LA
I'm from San Diego, and I often go to LA with friends to show them around. I have NEVER been able to take the kinds of photos you have taken! They are GREAT. I know where ALL those places are. You were using some wide angle shots, but all I have are 50mm-300mm lenses. I am definitely going to take more wide shots when I get to LA from now on. What speed film were you using? Did you use a tripod and long exposure for the Union Station shot?

— James, October 6, 2003

Great pictures. I enjoyed seeing each and every one.
— Bach, October 4, 2003

I only know this city through the images I see in movies and TV. These images are far different, more realistic and more beautiful than the usual cheesy shots of B.H. mansions and the S.M. beach we always see on TV.
— Whitney, August 12, 2003

That pic with the snow on the mountains is exactly how it looks after a good (winter) rain down in the flatlands. Great view.
— Linda, August 3, 2003

gorgeous pics of a city that's always on our minds. The one with the snowy mountains in the back is just surreal.
— david, July 28, 2003

Los Angeles is a cool city.
— Tina, July 14, 2003

I took a trip to Los Angeles last summer and your pics brought back memories of a very pleasant and enjoyable trip I had.
— Donald, July 7, 2003

Los Angeles is a beautiful city especially with the snow covered mountains in the background. Eat your heart out Frisco.
— Brenda, July 4, 2003

A great photoessay on the city of LA. All those magnificent skyscrapers make for some interesting photographic subjects.
