Yes, how can it be LA without traffic ? Benny Chan has taken to the skies in the past few years to document Los Angeles traffic. I admit it, the scene looks beautiful from above but I wouldn't want to be sitting in my car. I found this via Good Magazine where they have posted several of his photos - and if you click on them, will enlarge them further - thus giving you really a bird's eye view of that snarl on the 405.
Rush hour in Los Angeles is synonymous with gridlock, but the sheer enormity of the situation can be tough to grasp. Fortunately, there is the architecture photographer Benny Chan, whose Traffic! series depicts the scale of overcrowded lanes of rush hour traffic from high overhead. Shot over a few years during various helicopter trips, the photographs now stand eight feet high and six feet wide, and convey, quite effectively, the enormity of the problem-as well as the need to get things moving.
May 31st - Sept 20th with an opening event 7-9 pm on May 30th. Benny will be speaking on August 16th 3-4 pm
