How can photographs help us understand the impact of cities on the natural and built environment? The exhibition A Place in the Sun: Photographs of Los Angeles by John Humble includes this contemporary photographer's images of the L.A. River and L.A.'s built environment.
Compare and contrast the work of Humble with that of William Garnett, a photographer who documented the development of neighborhoods in L.A. 60 years ago. The lesson "Environmental Impact" examines Garnett's depictions of urban sprawl. Extend the lesson by viewing Humble's images and discussing how the growth of cities has affected the natural and built environment we see today.
