SoCal Landmarks is an ongoing project to document the myriad sites, buildings, structures, monuments, and other natural and historical points of importance and/or interest that are considered locally, regionally and/or nationally as landmarks in the ten southern counties of California - Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Kern and San Luis Obispo. The project is supported by contributions from a collaboration of photographers with varying levels of skills and experience, but a common interest in the place we all call home - Southern California.

These 8.5″ x 8.5″ softcover photo books are printed with premium colors on 80# stock. We’ve priced them so with shipping, handling and tax, each book comes out to about $20 – the poor man’s coffee table book.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local organizations working to protect and preserve historical landmarks in Southern California.
