# California Dreamers - Hardcover

by **Sally Davies** (Author)

**_California Dreamers_** **is an intimate fly-on-the-wall photographic  
study of over 70 Californians, along with their personal testimonies and tales,  
revealing life behind closed doors in this iconic US state.**

California, the  
Golden State, is steeped in cliché like almost nowhere else: palm trees,  
beach-blonde surfers, aspiring actors and tail-finned cars, all bathed in  
endless sunshine. Sally Davies, acclaimed New York photographer and author of _New  
Yorkers_, heads west to capture the images and listen to the voices of  
everyday Californians in their own homes, hoping to delve beneath the  
ubiquitous stereotypes. She finds light and space, swimming pools and enticing  
views of the stunning natural surroundings encroaching through the walls.  
Posing for her in bedrooms, garages and patios, Davies discovers vibrant  
multicultural communities, eccentric stories of hopes and dreams, tales of  
gridlocked traffic, urban sprawl, air pollution and all aspects of the  
entertainment industry. Among the voices are well-known figures, Linda Ramone  
and actor Eric McCormack, accompanied by a cast of models, producers, a  
high-court judge, artists, stylists, writers, musicians, lawyers, magicians and  
many more.
