Without a Car in the World

[marmar]

from YES! Magazine:



Photographer Diane Meyer set out to capture the inspiring and courageous citizens of L.A. who decided to rid themselves of the symbol of American freedom—the automobile. The following photo essay is a small sample of the nearly 100 people Meyer hoped to interview for the project.

From her website, Meyer writes: "through images and text from the interviews, the project will address how car culture has shaped psychological, spatial, and geographic perceptions of the city." The purpose of the project is to then "provide a voice to a group of individuals often perceived to be disenfranchised in some way for not having an automobile."
