SUMMARY

5 years of 35mm photographs documenting Los Angeles's evolving landscape from the sidewalk.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

A large portion of my work is based on picking a direction and putting one foot in front of the other. In some ways, taking photos comes secondary to walking and experiencing life on the streets; grabbing a papusa or taco from a street vendor, interacting with the cast of characters that makeup a neighborhood, picking up a beer from a random liquor store, learning about and discovering the many corners of this enormous city.

In my first body of work shot exclusively on the streets of Los Angeles, I examine the city’s evolving landscape on 35mm film from the perspective of the sidewalk.
