SoCal Landmarks<\/em> is an ongoing photography project documenting the myriad sites, buildings, structures, monuments, and other natural and historical points of importance\/interest that are considered landmarks in the ten southern counties of California. Since the launch of the project in February 2020, a small, dedicated group of photographers has contributed content for the project’s archives, its website (https:\/\/socallandmarks.com<\/a>), and presence on five social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Project manager Andy Schmidt moved to Orange County in late 2005. As a member of the Photographic Society of Orange County, he was involved with the Slice of Orange photography project organized by John Bare of Laguna Niguel, for which he provided administrative and technical assistance. In mid-2019, Andy approached John and one of the other photographers in the Slice project, Al Russell, about helping organize and administer an open-ended project focusing on historical landmarks. Already, the project has documented more than 600 landmarks with many more still to go.<\/p>\n
