binary Los Angeles

binaryLA has moved

I have succumbed to the single picture format convention of most photoblogs and have moved binaryLA to pixelpost. The main advantage of this format is that it focuses the attention of the viewer on a single high-resolution picture. Although I enjoy the photo essay format in magazines, for a photoblog this format divides the viewer’s attention with multi-thumbnail images that have to click to be enjoyed. The reformatted binaryLA will have more text on photography, planning and popular culture in the city of angles.

Why isn't there more transit street photography in Los Angeles? New York has some of the greatest photographty of this sort, which is perfectly understandable, but in LA there appears to be an almost complete abstence. Well, here is my contribution.

One thing I like about political protests are the homemade signs. These pictures were taken at the Antiwar protest in Downtown LA on September 24, 2005.

I was delighted to see street photography feature in the Nike Nichols movie “Closer,” a love triangle dark comedy. Street photography is used a metaphor for “love at sight,” as stated my the Natalie Portman character, “It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.” I hope street photography fairs better in other contemporary movies but I doubt it.

Big changes are planned. I am investigating restructuring binary LA with more emphasis on my Flickr Photosteam and new hosting server and photo format. Stay tuned.
