photo by Mary Amor, from her "lifestyle" portfolio :: via BOOOOOOOM!
A beautiful shot by a young LA-based photographer that for me triggers memories of many a Southern California winter. I love the odd stillness of the scene, despite the lean-into-it wind.

"Woman taking her time rambling south at 63 mph on the Hollywood Freeway near the Vine Street exit in Los Angeles on a Saturday afternoon in 1991," from the series Vector Portraits, by Andrew Bush, at M+B Gallery, Los Angeles, 12 September–15 October :: via We can shoot too
I've seen Andrew Bush's freeway photographs here and there before (there's even a book of them, Drive), and every time I catch a glimpse I'm more intrigued. The composition is always the same: a car door, a driver, a bit of landscape, and a simultaneous velocity and stillness, the striking (and vaguely unsettling) intermixing of private and public spaces and moments—of life in the million bubbles of our highway culture.
