My friend and mentor Lane Barden is one worth checking out (lanebarden.net) as he mapped 52 miles of the Los Angeles rive, from the valley to Long Beach harbor from the air in some amazing digital photo pieces. You might also look into an organization called CLUI or the Center for Land Use and Interpreation. They are SoCal based and goo to great lengths to explore how are lands are used, explore sites and present art on the subject. Lastly as a photographer and writer myself, I encourage you to keep track of my blog The Accidental Transcendentalist. Im eager to build my local readership.

It's amazing enough to see it rendered graphically. I can't comprehend the planning, the materials, and the labor that goes into actually creating the real deal. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check out the exhibit.
