This monograph by Paul Jasmin celebrates the light, weather, and youth of Los Angeles across 160 pages, with images taken primarily in his apartment on Wilshire Boulevard.

The book narrates a mythical desire with lost lovers and young beauties, with Jasmin photographing faces that keep him "dreaming".

The models, many of them students or children of friends, embody his goal of creating images "more beautiful, heroic or glamorous than real life".

The book is a plea for Los Angeles as a golden mirage, showing Jasmin as a host and expert connoisseur of the city.
