In this final episode of 2022, we chat with Ashok Sinha about his love for cool cars and architectural photography launched the journey to create his book, Gas and Glamour. He jokes that the project was more than just a way to escape in-laws during family visits to LA but truly was a passion project. Before knowing the body of work would become a book – and more recently, an NFT series of 1/1 images –  he knew he wanted to draw loving attention to the original buildings that were designed to celebrate Los Angeles’ original love affair with the car culture of the ’50s and ’60s. Some funny things happened while shooting the project and Ashok shares his favorite stories about an LA shake-down, a neon windmill, free pizza, and a giant drive-through donut. Recorded December 21, 2022.

Our speakers: Ashok Sinha and Pam Voth.
