"The city is a place where people feel free to do and be whatever they want."
"I think that there is a huge disparity in Los Angeles, as there is in the US in general, between the wealthy and the not-so-wealthy, the haves and the have-nots. And so many of the areas in which I photograph are areas where there are the have-nots."
