A collection of great photos taken by Robert Yager. These images depict the life of gang members in Los Angeles since 1992.
Many people have most likely seen this photograph but they don’t know who it depicts and what’s going on there. Go inside the post to see the whole story.
Los Angeles seen from Griffith Observatory.
Early Sunday morning brave diners toasted the closing of the Los Angeles 405 freeway, Carmageddon, by literally raising their glasses at a table on the deserted freeway.
Los Angeles is a legendary American city. This is the capital of celebrities, the city which leaves almost nobody indifferent. For some people this place is a symbol of peaceful life. For others it is a huge metropolis that is not really suitable for a normal life. Anyways, let’s just look at spectacular photos of Los Angeles from a bird’s eye view. These pictures are amazing!
Los Angeles is the “capital” of homeless people in the U.S. There were over 73 thousands of homeless people here before the world crisis, 40 % of them were women and children. A “slummy block” is located in less than one mile to the Mayor’s Office. Here you can always meet 2,000-3,000 homeless Americans. The photos are rather depressing…

Homegirl cafe is a new place in Los Angeles "staffed by 30 at risk and formerly gang involved young women". They make lunches and learn catering work at supporting cooking classes. They might get a full time employment and change their lives for better.

Photographer Matt Logue shows with his Empty L.A. photo project what the City of Angels would look like if it was totally people-less.
The photos were taken over a period of 4 years (he began in 2005) at different places of LA.
Very interesting work. Check it out!

Each year, the residents of Laguna Niguel expose their buttocks during the “Mooning of the Trains” event along a railroad track in Orange County, south of Los Angeles.
According to a local legend, this tradition began in 1979 when customer K.T. Smith said he would buy a drink for anyone who would run outside and show his/her butt to the next train.
So for 30 years now, people over there have been mooning trains on the second Saturday of each July.
Quite a funny tradition I must say!
