Odds and Ends from an Urban Stream

This is the second installment of images from my three day journey along the Los Angeles river channel. I made still life photographs of objects I collected while traveling along the river by car, bicycle and kayak between the Selpulveda basin and downtown Los Angeles. The idea was to create a time capsule for the future, artifacts reminding future citizens of how things were (now).
