L.A. Gentrified

12:12 PM PDT on July 11, 2012

    L.A. Gentrified is a set of photographs documenting the effects of the
    accelerated gentrification of Los Angeles. Disregarded neighborhoods
    existing within the shadow of new condos and renovated lofts create a
    contrast that is changing the city. The effect has been that while
    some areas of L.A. are experiencing a positive change, those that are
    left behind are falling further into decay...the spoils of success in
    conjunction with the depths of poverty.

    Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin a.k.a. Nonstndrd has been photographing life in the
    neighborhoods of Los Angeles for the past 7 years or so. His work
    focuses on the beauty of the urban environment through the eyes of a
    pedestrian, with a strong emphasis on urban landscape, mass transit,
    and the inhabitants of the city. RebelSciences is the raw result of
    that goal, an ever evolving photo essay that represents a kind of love
    letter to the city and its citizens.
