L.A. in Focus
L.A. in Focus is a free series of lectures presented by Photo Friends and the Photo Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library, healing spotlighting images from the Library’s collection and unique stories of L.A. history.
Held about six times a year, the lectures address different photographers and other themes, with special guests sharing expert insights on images from the collection. Past topics include the architecture of John Parkinson, industrial aerial photography, Jean Harlow in Hollywood, and a panel of past photographers from the Herald-Examiner.
