No parking anytime, yet you can see a parked van. A broken car fixed with a broken sign. And a mirror reflecting on itself. Funny how you see things play out.

These words and pictures move on the wall. Are they alive? No. But then again, they must be because each of them represent something. Some stand out more than the others. Plus, in order to function, energy needs to travels through the insides. These signs can choose to be big and bright while others go unnoticed. They’re just like us.
Rosemarie Shamim
You may never know how many people are in a building, peering out at those little ants in the street. You also may never know how many of those ants are looking up at the windows of those buildings, wondering what it holds.

A staircase can hold many things. A person standing at the top of the stairs can be looking down at you below, and you may never know. Someone can be standing above you, and you may never know. What does this staircase hold? We may never know

Many things go unnoticed inside of bushes and other small spaces in cities. Usually, if you look close enough, you can find many objects dropped by pedestrians.
Zander Denning
Although looking like a colorful tree, the papers have much deeper meanings. They are wishes of well being and fortune; for either the writer, themselves, or others. This tree has meaning physically and spiritually.

The new generations are the future of L.A. As represented here, the start of the path is blurry, but later it becomes clear. Every person has a future, although it is not very clear until they discover their true skill or talent. Your future remains unknown until time comes to show.

Down, down the elevator shaft
Down into the unknown.
Whatever’s down there,

Is just an old elevator.
What did you expect.
But you never know.
Janice Kim
California is filled with children who wonder about the diversity of cultures this state has for them. We search all around to experience the culture without even leaving the city. We take granted of what we have to see, hear, and taste around the world without leaving the state. While the adventures begin and continue, we find more about our ancestors and each other's history and background. Because of this, we have the respect of diversity of one another.
Rebecca Lee
Hell. They all say it’s bad. Yet no one has ever been there to say so. They all just make the assumption, “It’s just a door. How bad can it be?” There’s more to it than hearing people say “what the hell.”�See for yourself.�

Once one catches a glimpse of something never seen before, it is impossible to erase the memory out of their head. Some choose to not bring it up ever again, while others become consumed by it. They dig deeper, in search of what they once saw. The light through the cracks draw everyone, but only some go closer…
Jimmy Moya
LA has some of the most beautiful architecture, and this architecture is no different, it displays LA’s beautiful inner city art.

This painting resembles life because life is full of surprises.
It also looks like a mess but once you look deeper into the mural and put pieces together it says something meaningful.
A simple diamond frame. Something is on the other side but you can’t figure out what.
Maybe there is nothing on the other side.
What would be on the other side?
What are we doing on this side.
Are we supposed to be on the other side.
What could be there?
Many questions rise when looking at a simple diamond frame.
Anthony Hashimoto
Many people look up for answers. Reaching for the bright skies above, not knowing that there was an easier way all along.

Giving the search for new memories a break and taking the time to look up and cherish the old ones.

These stairs are symbolic of a set future or path in which we are all supposed to follow one step at a time...
Solara De La Cruz
I’ve always wondered how something very small outside can be so big on the inside. It just doesn’t make sense. But when you start to think about it, it depends on the foundation and how well structured it is to build to reach the top. Every building is built differently, but how does it hold so well?
Emely Gonzalez
This world may look like the world that’s yours, but what’s on the other side?...

Although all you see is the nature in California, you may know why they’re there, why animals live in them, why it’s important for us. But there is no correct answer.

Adrian Campos
No matter who you are or what defines you, where you come from and who you choose to be with, everyone can come together to stand up for justice. We can unite against vandalism, racism, discrimination, and other topics as such.

Sometimes, when you’re trying to investigate the world, you look too much into things. Then the big picture jumps out at you, all slanted.
Annika Minton
So many trees, however only this one seems peculiar.
But the sun shines so bright on all of them...
Does that make all of them special?
Does that make all of them the same?
They're all different.
They will always be the same and they will always be diverse.

Wow, what a little frame with nothing to see.
That’s what you may think, but there can be so much beauty in this tiny frame and we as people don’t even take a second chance and really see the beauty of nature and the plants and the trees. Always take looks, there could be so much beauty in the little things

“Looking Up”- Everyone goes passed so many houses everyday, yet not many people consider what’s really going on in these houses. It is a mystery and we won't know, but we an take in consideration of this unusual thought.
Is it safe? Is it like any other? Can I investigate it?
“Shards of Glass” - Stared down by civilians with no intentions of cleaning it. ‘If no one else is picking it up, why would I?’

“Caution: Road Work Ahead” -Our positive input on society is admirable. But what good is that if we can’t keep ourselves from our own inner destruction?
Grace Creadon
To investigate is to inquire about a subject in detail. To investigate is to travel, learn and study about something unheard or unseen. To investigate is to want to know, and when you want to know you are curious. And being curious is what got most scientists to where they are now. Because when you have an idea of what you want to be or do, you learn more about it. Don’t be afraid to investigate.

“The Light at the End of the Road”
The City of Angels is in itself colossal. A metropolitan maze of glass and steel spanning over 500 square miles, Los Angeles may to some seem cold, icy, and emotionless.
But if you look long enough
it isn’t so hard
to find some beauty in the center of the concrete jungle.

“Peering into the Darkness”
There are many tunnels in the world.
Each may not be as mysterious as another.
Some may be perfectly safe.
But, some others need to be investigated.
Because, tunnels could hold many secrets.
We never know which is which.
Zhenghui Chen
There are millions of windows in LA and we will always wonder what’s behind them. There could be a whole nother world behind that piece of glass, but we would never know for sure. LA is full of wonders that we will never fully understand, which is what makes the city so enticing. The smallest things, like investigating what’s behind a window, is what everyday life here is about. LA will continue to be noisy and loud, and mysterious and beautiful, and we will never stop investigating.
Simone Kane
There will be many shadows, or dark paths that might follow in life. Maybe something blocking you. You’ll have to find your way out, find some way around it. Though there will always be something to follow. Investigation will be needed, especially in LA.
Stevie Nault
Looking up at the sky
Skyscrapers at the corner of my eyes
Some old, some new, some brown, some blue, some made of brick some of glass
One at every sight
Wondering how high they can go
Looking as if they are as infinite as the sky
Could one ever reach the sky?
Mia Guzman

Investigating an investigation is possible. If I take a picture of her taking a picture, maybe I can figure out what she’s investigating.
Karen Jang
Who is this man and why has his face been scratched out? Perhaps he’s done something wrong. Maybe someone just messed with the image for fun. I don’t think we’ll ever get to find out.
Sooyeon Suk
The light will always shine through the darkness, so do not be afraid to take your first step.
Mathew Alpuche
“We Don’t Call 911” because we shouldn’t have to. As members of this wonderful but imperfect society, we all should do what we can do to avoid having to calling 911. This city isn’t just for us, it’s for everyone willing to stay here and for children in the future. We should all do them a favor, and make this community safe.

“What it Would Be Like”
I wonder what it would be like to soar above my city and see every wonder from above. I wonder what it would be like to be tiny and admire every crevice within architecture. I wonder what it would be like to search, explore, and investigate everything I can. I wonder what it would be like to accomplish my goals. Well I’ll find out tomorrow because everything I wanna do can happen with some work and that’s what it took to design and build the beautiful buildings in my picture.
Danielle Altamirano
Perspectives aren’t always perfect, and could be heavily obstructed. The ideal that stays alive is that you must change and adapt to the exterior to properly investigate. Change doesn’t diminish the intended sight, but rather expands it-giving one the opportunity to investigate. And this statement couldn’t be any truer than in Downtown Los Angeles.
Giovanni Maya
Trains are a regular occurrence in the city. Not every subway ride is good, but it’s always interesting.

Sometimes, it is not the reflection on the outside that matters it is what nobody can see on the inside.
Johnny Gonzalez
The Bradbury Building. I had never heard of this building before my class’ walking field trip around Los Angeles. It is important to investigate your surroundings because you can find beautiful meanings within something that many tend to overlook. An elevator in the midst of travel is a beautiful sight; the colors smudging and blurring behind a door that will soon open to a completely new surrounding. It’s like the beginning of the end. The start of a new endeavor, but not quite. It’s stuck in between, never fully opening itself up. All of this thought comes out of investigating something so new and foreign to me, but a staple in my home city: the Bradbury Building.
Janci Zelaya

LA is filled with color and art, you just need to look for it.
Stephanie Penafiel
Our relationship is like this knot, all tied up in our business
Nick Saballos
I never walk the streets of LA on my own, or for fun, but one day at school we all walked together. I have never realized how much you can see by just walking. We investigated every nook and cranny, taking pictures as if we’ve never seen LA before. In my picture, you can see that if you investigate beyond the sticker and graffiti covered walls, you can find beauty and nature in every place.
Shelly Naulin
We walk past art like this everyday without noticing it, but when we do, our curiosity can lead us into an investigation for us to learn more about the world we live in.
Justin Acosta
Up close, it doesn’t seem to be much. It looks more captivating a few steps back. Look at things in a different perspective.
Ian Scherer
This photo reminds me of LA because although it looks so simple and “perfect” there is so much more to it. The main focus is the sunlight hitting the flower, but without the green bush, the street, trees and cars it wouldn’t be as interesting to look at. A photo is more than just its parts, and same goes for a city. After walking around downtown with my classmates I realized that LA is more than just its movie stars, skyscrapers, palm trees, warm weather, and traffic. It's a place filled with culture, creativity, and diversity.
Sofia Irvin
I have been living in my neighborhood for 7 years. I thought I would know every inch of it, although my sister and I, while going to the local laundromat, were able to discover a wall full of beautiful, red Bougainvillea flowers. I never realized how such a small neighborhood would be so full of treasures.
Esther Suh
Exploration is an experience only obtained by letting go of what you know; stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring different colors and cultures hidden right beneath your feet. This photo shows the color and energy of a city that’s people seem so concerned with themselves. Taking the time to investigate and photograph the beautiful colors of a stand in the midst of a bustling market force you to appreciate the little things your city has to offer.
Lucy Parker
In the dark rooms of brick walls, the rays of light will always shine through. Whenever there is light that can penetrate the darkness, discoveries can be made.

Investigation can take us places. Looking out of a plane can be so fascinating. You can explore the world below in the sky. Investigation is a trip of discovery. The more you look out in the sky the more you will find.
Piper Begler
Look up.
But can we, really,
if we only see what the camera sees:

Songran Xu
The Phrase “the devil is in the details” connotes a flaw in a plan, no matter how small could result in big problems later, but in this case the devil really is in the details! As evidenced by the exquisite design in this metalwork.
Sofija Aviles-Lindsey
We’re all like flowers in a way,
We just have to find that special day
First a seed, all so small
It takes a little motivation to start it all
Trying to investigate who we are
Though it may leave a scar
Soon we’ll able be there, you see
We’ll all start blooming
We can all learn to grow in our own flower
Sometimes you just have to find that power
No matter how hard it takes
It’ll all be your own one day
Hailey Jane Guzman
When life kicks you in the behind, just get up and investigate where your happy place is. No matter where you are, it will get better. Trust me. I’ve been there.

Hiding in the shadows,

Sam Burdick-Morris (sorry hon I just touched it)
As you grow up and your curiosity takes over, you find yourself exploring the different parts of LA. You try things that you never thought you would do, and learn about all the different cultures that make up LA. It feels like an investigation to find LA’s hidden jewels.
Gillian Wentzel
Some things are not given second thought.There are a lot of paintings in LA,but this one has something special in it. This person is like a spirit helping us.
Shaurav Biswas
Falling bodies everywhere,
In our heads,
Underground,
Suicide is all around,
This picture might look cool and happy,
But if you think about it, it makes you kinda crappy,
Life comes down at you very hard,
And makes you want to hide in a ball,
But you can overcome this pain,
For I too have broken the fall.
Shay Lyric Park
There are so many wonders
But I wonder…
What makes the subway so special?

There are so many wonders
But I wonder…

Aldwin Cruz
This picture represents people. You won’t know who they are until you look closely, investigate, and talk to them. There are many arts on walls like this in LA. We just get distracted with other things and don’t notice many artworks on the walls of LA. Even when we see it, we just take a glimpse of it and don’t really walk up to find out more. We don’t take second looks of the art because we don’t think much of it. In the real world, we see people walking around all the time and we wouldn’t think much of it. We see homeless people all the time and we think that they are just lazy. Some of them fought for our country and we wouldn’t know because we won’t think twice of it.

“Ride Along and You’ll See”
We often find ourselves venturing off into the city. Sometimes alone or with others, by foot or vehicle. Traveling from place to place without a trace because you can’t wait for what’s next. When you observe the land ahead knowing the end is near. As you explore more you begin to understand the true meaning of the memorable journey and the joy you have received. Until next time, but for now ride along and you’ll see…
Jillian Francisco
What do you see in front of you when the color of the picture is removed? What do you focus on? The architecture? The bright light shining over LA? Or the darkness? It all depends on the perspective you may have compared to others. What do you see LA as?
Eric Xie-McCarthy
What could possibly be lurking within this environment? Fish swimming in the water, birds hiding in the trees, bugs crawling in the foliage, the possibilities are endless. Everything seems to be hidden and calm. However, nowadays we don’t really respect the life that is held in specific environments as technology advances. Will we start preserving the wildlife or keep on tearing down their homes? Investigate.
Aaron Nicolas
As we see where the path leads, you don’t pay attention to the sides.
The left shows (some) people’s thinking of what is in other countries: nothing
The right shows what they think of us; with nothing to defend ourselves with, vulnerable to the touch
The middle is the wall that is separating us
The middle building that connects shows that no matter what people say, we are united in some way, and we all need to be respected.
Sometimes, little things in our world remind us of the problems in our world. We just need to investigate.
Nelson Hernandez
There are tons of secrets that are locked up behind doors that cannot be told to the world.
Nayeli Rodriguez
Los Angeles is chaotic but from that chaos there is a message in which you will learn from, you just need to find the right path that suits you. The two people in the center of the image have traveled through the right path which is why they are at peace with all the mayhem surrounding them. Now you need to investigate and find your right path to be successful and at peace. Everyone is unique in their own ways so don’t follow others paths or they’ll lead you the wrong direction. Nobody said it would be easy.

"To the Light"
This image portrays a gate in the near foreground blocking a staircase. The staircase leads to an extremely bright light. The staircase lures in our eyes and calls for them to follow them to the top. Our brains naturally want to get past the gate and investigate the light.

You can investigate anywhere, at anytime. Even in your car, a ride anywhere is an opportunity to investigate and learn more about your surroundings. There's always something to look at that we could look more into another day...

“Over the Lanterns”
As the leaves are blown off the branches and the wind travels in different directions, the lanterns remain as still as the light. The lanterns represent a path that can lead to an unknown destination. They are attached onto one string that holds them together, like a community of people who have different paths in life, but remain as a working together to create a future.

If you had just taken a few more seconds to stop and look around, you would have realized that there are so many interesting things surrounding you.

Seeing things through a different lens
If for only a moment, everyone in the world would a take a step back and investigate their surroundings differently than how they always do. Oh how different the world would be. We would be seeing things we never had seen before, just by investigating and exploring with a different mindset, vision, and perspective. Even looking through a pair of sunglasses differently can completely change your view and perspective on what you were investigating.

Why is everyone so focused on technology? Why can’t it be like the old time? Why can’t we just focus on the people, our city, the art and school. Why does technology have to be a huge part in our lives and society today.
Anthony Martinez
If everyone stopped what they were doing and look out into the world they’d see a wonderful place with wonderful people. Everyone in the world always is concerned with themselves and with their heartaches. Instead of obsessing over themselves they should investigate the other people and places around them. Think about what their going through because there’s always someone who has it worse that you. Once you’ve opened your eyes you should appreciate what you have and the great people in your life.

Investigation
The commuters look on to see what lies ahead of them.
As they began to travel to closer to their destination
They examine the area around them,
While others stood behind, awaiting
They waited to be able to view the world around

Andrea Vergara
It doesn’t matter what situation you’re in. As long as you investigate your surroundings and what’s going on you’ll be fine. You’ll reach the end of that journey and notice how much easier life begins to be. All you have to do is get out of the dark and reach the light. It may be difficult, but if you investigate you’ll reach the end eventually.

Reflections are the portals to another dimension. It shows a parallel view of everything of this world but, it can hold secrets, innocent or sinister

Phineas Respicio
Sometimes even an instant, a mere fragment of time, holds more than an hour ever could. I was lucky to capture this moment, less than a second before my cat pounced on to my camera. Sometimes, when investigating, it’s important to keep track of who might be investigating you.

There is a time in every child’s life where he or she seeks adulthood. During that time, the child will seem confused and stressed, lonely and depressed. They will try and try and try but never seem to fit. But there will come a time of exploring and finding their true self, only to realize they are sinking.

Do you ever notice how beautiful our world is? If people would just take that second to look up and look at the world, they would see how beautiful it is.

When everyone is always moving so quickly, going from one thing to the next, it’s good to look back and see what everyone is missing. As someone would briskly walk the sidewalk and not see that there is beauty in even that, the sidewalk, road, street signs, traffic lights, all of it.

But they are also very unpredictable once you’re on one level you want to hop on the next but don’t know what to expect.

Throughout the history of humanity, we’ve experimented and discovered things going by the rule that the biggest risk you can ever take in life is not taking any.
