Los Angeles diary – blog
In early October 2003, I commenced a consultancy assignment for a client based to the south of Los Angeles. I spent 6 months living in Costa Mesa, Orange County, CA. Here you’ll find the blog I wrote during my time there, along with a selection of photographs. I hope you enjoy the read!
