Gary Leonard said this about the city: "Los Angeles is the world in a single city." The words take on renewed meaning during these current moments of fear, protest, racial profiling and when families are torn apart.
His City of Angels Collection of photographs, shot in 2013 and available at the Los Angeles Public Library, includes this cataloging descriptor: "Communicating its cultural diversity with interactions in more than eighty languages, this city radiates vitality. Here in downtown, the rich and the poor, the exuberant and the reserved, the old of soul and the young of heart converge, sharing the same sidewalks and streets in the bustle of their daily routines."
