'Faces of Sunset Boulevard,' the book

Scene from book
Photographer Patrick Ecclesine's new book from Santa Monica Press, "Faces of Sunset Boulevard: a Portrait of Los Angeles," travels the length of the boulevard through portraits of people who live, work, and play there. Constantina, described as a philanthropist and singer (above), is in the Beverly Hills section. Luc Robitaille also makes an appearance, as do Jerry Buss, Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman (the real Gidget), gang bangers, street people and other real Angelenos. Here's Ecclesine's commercial photography website.

Not to be confused with: Sunset Boulevard: Cruising the Heart of Los Angeles by Amy Dawes.
