KCET, the PBS station in Los Angeles County, is doing a series in audio/video stories with interactive panoramic images called “Departures”. It’s a online series about places in Los Angeles as seen and researched by the youth of the city. This is the most recently released episode and is about the Los Angeles River, and it’s panoramic section follows the entire river from above. The kids and thier director asked me to show them around my part of the river and to say a few words on what the river means to me.

This feature brings awareness to the river. It shows it’s importance, effecting everyone in the city, from the construction workers who keep the bridges from crumbling, to those who work to protect the wildlife.
