Peruse the work of photographer John Humble and it's obvious the man knows this city. While some of LA's famous perspectives (the Hollywood sign, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Boardwalk) have become international icons, Humble's work largely focuses on equally distinct, but far from iconic, images of the city and its people. The globetrotting photographer has worked for Time, Newsweek, Harper's, Esquire and others. His upcoming exhibit (and companion book), A Place in the Sun, opens at the Getty Center on Tuesday and runs through July 8. Visitors will be able to check out about 40 of Humble’s most interesting cityscape photos, divided between his LA landscapes and a series he shot on the LA River. Humble talked to LAist (via email) about finding beauty in even the ugliest parts of his adopted home. more ›
