Photo LA 2012

Photo LA was a 3-day fair in Santa Monica, where an epic amount of galleries were displaying photographs available for sale. The work ranged in age from the early 20th Century until today and displayed everyone from emerging photographers to established mainstays. This year, the event’s directors nominated Moby as a featured presenter and placed his photographs of massive crowds all around the grounds of the event. And if you were there the night of the preview, you could see him walking around amongst superstar photographers like Jill Greenberg – who actually shot several of his album covers. The following images are some of my favorite photographs from the fair... Daniel Rolnik
