When I think back to just last Monday, standing in one of the alleys of These Streets Gallery, I once again realized that dreams do come true.

•

A few years ago I set out to free my art and paste up my photography in the streets, free for anyone and everyone who would stop to look. It was so incredibly liberating and yet something was missing.

Community.

I dreamt of a day in which alleys would be turned into galleries filled with all the amazing photographers that the streets of LA has raised and inspired.

With that I set out to find my photographic community and sure enough I did.

•

These Streets Magazine ( @thesestreetsmag ) and so many other photographers welcomed me and my passionate ideas with open arms.

It was an absolute honor to work alongside such dedicated and talented photographers in creating “Out of the Frame”.

“Out of the Frame" is a collaborative project that aims to motivate people to explore Los Angeles by visiting each of the 5 alleyway galleries, while also peering into all the layers that have made up this year through the photographic work of over 20 photographers. This unique approach to gallery viewing is not only reflective of the times, but also a way to encourage empathy, education, curiosity and community.

Thank you to each and every photographer who shared their work, the team that spent countless hours putting this together + pasting this up and especially to everyone who came out to explore these alley galleries.

We LOVE you LA!
