This book presents two distinct photographic explorations of the Los Angeles landscape. The first series captures the city at night, focusing on details that evoke a sense of surveillance and unease, while the second series documents the city's periphery during the day, where urban sprawl meets the desert under the characteristic Southern California light.

This collection of photographs is noted for its intriguing and somewhat Romantic approach to the Los Angeles landscape. The juxtaposition of nocturnal surveillance imagery with the stark daylight views of the urban fringe creates a compelling visual dialogue. The inclusion of an essay by Kai Uwe Schierz offers scholarly context to Schink's artistic vision. The book is recognized for its distinct bodies of color work that explore the unique light and atmosphere of Southern California.
