It can be a projection, a solution, a temporary fix, a long-term goal. For Lynell George--and millions of others--it's simply home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter\/Image: Los Angeles Outside the Frame \u003c\/i\u003e by Lynell George is the result of this award-winning journalist's years of contemplating and writing about the arts, culture, and social issues of Los Angeles, always with an emphasis on place and the identity of the people who live in--or leave--L.A. As a staff writer for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLA Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003e Lynell George explored place after place that makes the city tick, met person after person, and encountered the cumulative heart of the city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter\/Image\u003c\/i\u003e is her collection of essays, evocative photographs, profiles, and reportage focused on Los Angeles beneath-the-surface--both the past and the here-and-now. In its pages, Lynell George explores a set of questions about her native city: After decades of wholesale rethinking, what distinguishing features of the city remain deeply rooted? What rituals, details, passed-on lifestyles persist outside the edges of the frame--beyond the projected idea of Los Angeles? What are the lasting memories, the essential \"afterimages\" upon which we reflect? What do its people carry around in their own imagination and their hearts? How does the rest of the country look at L.A.--and why? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynell George's contemplations about Los Angeles are deeply in sync with the Angel City Press mantra: no one book can capture the scope of the city--a place with many stories to tell. And yet, with \u003ci\u003eAfter\/Image: Los Angeles Outside the Frame, \u003c\/i\u003e Lynell George proves every mantra can be re-examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynell George\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist and essayist. \u003ci\u003eAfter\/Image: Los Angeles Outside the Frame\u003c\/i\u003e is her first book of essays and photography, exploring the city where she grew up.
