NOTE FROM JUROR:
Thank you to everyone who entered L.A. Photo Curator’s Neighborhood Stories competition. It was a pleasure to see the many different ways photographers interpreted the idea of neighborhood, capturing the people, places, and everyday moments that give communities their character. I appreciate your participation and the opportunity to spend time with your work. Your photographs remind me that every neighborhood has a story worth telling, and that photography has the power to make those stories visible.
—Laurie Freitag
