Click to "embiggen"On Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles, a mother pushes a stroller past the Smile Auto Body shop. Behind her, older children follow.
From a muraled wall, Frida Kahlo looks on amid roses. "Art" and "Life" flank her portrait.
Viva la Vida - indeed.
Will this car make it to a body shop?
ReplyDeleteColor me skeptical.
Speaking of color, I love those murals. Imagine how dingy and depressing it would be without them?

You could do a whole photo book on murals in California neighborhoods. I mean YOU could do it. And I'd be first in line to buy that book. Again, a brilliant capture.
ReplyDeletePlaying a bit of catch up with your posts...the chocolate pie looks perfect and with that added bit of coffee, mmm. I couldn't decide which closeup I liked the best, but I think that plum photo is really something special. This post made me smile...so colorful and full of real life.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot! Your photos are always so colourful - then I realised that a bright blue sky helps!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat would be bleak is instead cheerful, thanks to art! I love that you see these and document them for us.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have caught the mother's face instead of having it blocked by the wires, but I was shooting from the window of a car.
