The Los Angeles community of Beverly Hills is one of the most upscale neighborhoods in the world. At its urban center runs the shopping street of Rodeo Drive, dominated by the presence of a princely hotel known as the Beverly Wilshire. Two marble fountains face each other at the entrance to this hotel, featuring symbolic marble masks of kingly creatures. They should be spewing water, but have been converted instead to lush planters. I moved in with a wideangle lens to emphasize the flow of vegetation pouring out of one of the marble masks. The cascade of leaves glistens in the reflected light, abstracting much of the marble from which it flows. The contrast between the well-watered greenery and the handsome marble sculpture speaks of wealth, power, and money, all of which are in evidence on Rodeo Drive.
