Veins of Humanity

I have always loved the Los Angeles freeways. They are amazing in their intricacies and simplicity. I see beauty in their structures and how they interact and divide communities. Everyday, I appreciate them for the efficiency they provide, for their functional purpose. But artistically, they represent something beautiful to me. They seem to be alive to me. People who travel on them breathe life into them. They represent the veins of humanity in a very impersonable urbanscape. They enable people to develop relationships and physical contact outside of their own isolated communities. I took the photos while driving on the 405 South on a cold, cloudy, and rainy day.
