91 Photos Mark the Start of Pool Season In L.A.

A splash heard in the distance and the scent of chlorine wafting in the morning sun herald the weekly ritual of pool parties in Los Angeles — some intimate, some majestic with headlining DJs and throbbing sound systems. The one pictured here was a happy party celebrating the birthdays of the hosts. Talented artist photographer and teacher Miguel Angel Reyes happens to be present almost anywhere that men are taking off their clothing in Southern California, and we thank him for the photos here.
