. . . from the archives #2: Atomic Cafe—Los Angeles, 1974

When I was working for Los Angeles County in 1974 my co-worker, Danny Perez, told me about a place called the "Atomic Cafe" . . . it really appealed to his sense of the absurd. I took this picture with, it looks like, Tri-X film (I usually used Panatomic-X); I still had the Nikon F at that point. And there's my reflection just to the left of the "Atomic Cafe" sign in the window. Interestingly enough, a recent Google search turned up another Atomic Cafe black and white photo that’s been posted on the web, no date given.
