a glance into "The L.A Taco Life"

....A glance into a new Taco series with imagery from LA Taco.  Show in the works for the end of the summer 2012.  This series is dedicated to highlighting some of the best local taco spots.  The assemblage of the images is inspired by the very mixed and diverse Los Angeles taco lifestyle.  Complex, some faded, and all saturated with flavor.  These images created in collaboration with LA Taco to celebrate food and art in LA.

Tagged poles, gum on the ground, scratched windows, and a pale florescent glow are some of the inspirations existing whiten this series. Started in march 2012..
