WHAT THE CAMERA SAW / THE WEEK AND MORE

EXPRESSIONS

The impulse to express oneself--and to leave some sort of mark in the process--can be as destructive as constructive. Graffiti covers the window of an MTA bus on the 204 line along Vermont Avenue in Pico-Union. Curtis Sellers gets a playful statement painted on his face at a school picnic in Pasadena. And Francisco Bello paints a Virgin of Guadalupe on the wall of a market in South-Central.

HIT THE ROAD

It’s the same whether you’re riding on four wheels or two: Sometimes you get caught in a traffic jam; sometimes you fly along an open road. In Santa Monica, a cyclist breezes along a path. In Ventura, riders collide and tumble during the first Cycling Classic.
