It’s just a matter of time till I get pulled over for DWP, that’s ‘Driving While Photographing,' which is what I was doing the other day in LA highway traffic.

And a tip to East Coasters--rush hour around Los Angeles starts at 3:00 (local time). Apparently, 7-3 is a popular enough shift to cause full-fledged bumper-to-bumper standstill.
L. Eckstein is a NYC-based graphic designer and artist. When she had a job that came with an office, all matter of visual interest could be tacked up on her wall, or walked down the hall to be shared with a co-worker. Her job no longer comes with an office. This is now her wall—and her hall.
