When you walk or drive around the Boyle Heights hood in LA, you see youths everywhere embracing Punk and Metal. Since the 70’s, Latinos and Latinas have been at the forefront of the L.A. scene. In 2014, one of my favorite photographers ANGELA BOATWRIGHT put out a stellar zine focusing on the East L.A. backyard punk scene entitled East Los. It’s way beyond awesome to see someone I respect behind the lens capturing youth culture in such an honest way. Get all of the details about Angela’s zine below, and you can still get copies of it HERE.
