the angels here
have pigeons' wings
blue collars
washed in sweat
the common salt
in tears
tongues swirl
in a stew of cultures
singing asphalt songs
in the midst of seagulls
bebop atop
the San Andreas
a humble plate
of beings

- Kamau Daáood, "Los Angeles"

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. - Hebrews 12:1

This blog is two years old today! I've been horribly neglectful, however. A summer in New York is death to an LA photo blog, but with the new year, I am newly resigned to document the city. More soon!
