Silver Lake telephone poles—up close

Today's wandering brought me to West Sunset Boulevard and the Silver Lake section of LA where there is a concentration of vegan restaurants, funky shops, signs of an earlier hippie culture still alive and well, and lots of telephone poles plastered with fliers announcing local events.

As part of my "aesthetics of decay" imagery I like to take close ups of objects to see them in a new way. Zeroing in on these telephone poles without seeing the borders of where the pole ends or begins, we get to focus on the composition of found images as they melt and merge under the elements of sun and rain and random ripping removal to make space for more of the same.

  1. I love the photo of all of the staples. You should blow that one up and frame it! M.
