As we continue to explore the city of Los Angeles, our photojournalism class had the opportunity to visit Chinatown, a festive destination for dining and shopping but most of all great photographic opportunities, to document and capture life as it happens.

A few blocks from Chinatown Central Plaza, on the intersection of College and Broadway, we had the opportunity to meet Clarence B, a kind man who has been living on the streets for the last 17 years, he told us he used to be a pastor and a part of the US armed forces. When asked about health services, he replied with a smile “there’s simply no medical services”. I am looking forward to documenting and meeting more friends in the streets of LA as our class continues the quest for more life stories.
