WHAT THE CAMERA SAW / THE WEEK AND MORE
Hanging out, hanging around, hanging loose. Take your pick. UCLA student Heather Gac, below, finds a peaceful setting as she studies near a campus sculpture, “Denudo Reclinado, 1970” by Francisco Zuniga. Ebony Brown, left, is the first rider on an MTA bus out of Sylmar bound for Hollywood. Jerry Wilson gets comfy in the warmth of the morning rays at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Aaron Woolbert, bottom left, appears to be on top of the world as he digs holes for a fence along the interstate in Elysian Park. George Navarro contemplates his life in L.A., far from his roots in Puerto Rico.
The World Is Theirs
Small steps in an adult world--that’s what these kids are taking under the guidance of grown-ups who have “been there and done that.” All the world’s a stage at an Abbot Kinney street festival for Joey Leyba, 4, above left, as he talks into a microphone with the assistance of Rick Torres. David Walker, 10, learns the art of baiting a hook from his grandfather George Watson during an outing in Baldwin Hills. A child, above, ponders a shadow at a downtown Los Angeles festival. Jose Juarez sends his son Ismael, 4, into the Rancho de Charros rodeo ring at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena.
The Light Fantastic
It could be the glow of excitement surrounding youths watching drag races on San Fernando Road in Sylmar. Sparks spray rays, above, as a construction worker torches a steel beam in Chatsworth.
