What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Orange County
Orange County has about 1.15 million homes, from Rossmoor's 1950s houses to Ladera Ranch in the 2000s, and many sit in unincorporated areas. A report gives the exact location, what is on the lot and who it was written for. Salt and marine layer shape the beach cities, and the inland side runs warmer. Fires like Canyon 2 in 2017 and Airport in 2024 burned here, and masonry in older towns such as Santa Ana was hurt in 1933.
