asylum-art:Finding the Hidden Beauty in Liquor Stores and Cheap Motels By Vicky Moon Photographer Vicky Moon moved from city to city as a kid, never getting too attached … until she moved to Los Angeles. She fell in love with the place, shooting at all hours of day and night. “I wanted to shoot at night because I feel that L.A. changes drastically from night to day. There’s this quietness that L.A. has when it’s dark that is really nice,” she says. “It’s like you can finally have a conversation with the city without having to shout.” From those night excursions comes “Expired L.A.,” Moon’s latest photography project. Using strictly expired film for her 4x5 camera (and no photoshop), Moon collected images of old storefronts and neon signs that show a less glamorous side of the city. -- source link
