Note this latest offering from the L.A. Times — a whole catalog of signs photographed by everyday people offering wit, subversion, and slyness. Some of the signs have been completely altered, colonized, adapted, or remade, such as this message, which tells us to heed another kind of dire danger divorced from typical road work fare! Nevermind the potholes! Other signs are simply homemade and funky to begin with, while others are photographed in such a way to highlight certain odd elements or idiosyncrasies, while still others are edited in the frame of the lense to create powerful playfulness. Many signs have been already altered, so the photographer just steps back and captures what may be temporary, insurgent swipes at municipal power and authority, or the logic of day-by-day community living.
