Surf on over to zonezero.com, the website for a Los Angeles photography gallery. Take your time, look around, and choose a photo that particularly stands out to you.

Describe how you got there, what if any trouble you had with the website's set-up, perhaps what other photos you saw and whether or not you were interested in them.
