LA People 2009: This Is LA

The waitresses and starlets ... the tech wizards and rock stars ... the activists, gang survivors, political warriors and policy wonks ... the scientists, teachers and fabulous nerds ... plus the nightlife shapers, art makers and fashion provocateurs

Here we present our fourth-annual LA People issue, in which photographer Kevin Scanlon — shooting more than 60 incredible images over five-week period — and some of the city’s best writers set out to capture portraits of the waitresses and starlets ... the tech wizards and rock stars ... the activists, gang survivors, political warriors and policy wonks ... the scientists, teachers and fabulous nerds ... plus the nightlife shapers, art makers and fashion provocateurs that make Los Angeles the only place to live.

    Nice issue, wonderful people. You forgot to mention the amazing activists that live in Sunland-Tujunga. They are responsible for creating the anti-mansionization ordinance and stopping the worlds 2nd largest retail corporation, Home Depot, from running over our town. They should not be ignored, they are a model for the rest of the city.
