PHOTOS OF LOS ANGELES

Inspired by artist Ed Ruscha, the photos below were taken in different neighborhoods of Los Angeles, by teens from the MOCA Apprenticeship Program (MAP). The photos provide the viewer an intimate snap shot of someone's front door when closed and a second with the door slightly open-welcoming the viewer to step inside. The homes in the photos are of Apprentices, friends and strangers. This concept represents a contrast to Ruscha, who is known for drawing and painting the exterior of buildings.




























The next series of photos explore the importance of relationships and how they make life matter and turn the "Bad" into "Good".
