For photographer Carla Richmond Coffing, inspiration comes in all forms.
Coffing’s professional photography is a reflection of her field notes from her evening walks around her Atwater Village neighborhood. The picture she made of this car with her iPhone is a glimpse into that notebook.
The photograph feels like an icon of a Los Angeles residential street, with its overgrown foliage, a spot of color with the flowering tree and the street parking. The owner of the car shows that he or she parks here regularly and knows to protect the vehicle; it feels like a habit.
