Photo Essay of Los Angeles by Leo R. Barrera
This is a photo Essay of the city we now call Los Angeles by Leo R. Barrera for Atelier Visit. It illustrates a sliver of the city’s many faces who more than 3.5 million people call home. The city originally named “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles de Porciuncula” in 1781 by Spanish settlers has a rich history going back thousands of years. In 2010 there still exists a tapestry of culture, people and communities.
