Inverted River R. Rene Hoffman

Archival Digital Print 16" x 20" $500

No one expects water and wildlife in the L.A. River. This photograph was taken in the area where the river bottom changes from sandy soil to cement. The image is the reflection of the bird and things leading to to edge of the river. I have turned it upside down so that the image is right side up. (does that make sense?) Other than cropping, there are no photoshop effects.

Piano Orfano R. Rene Hoffman

Black & White Digital Print 16" x 20" $500

Who dumps a piano the street? Abandoned, still in working order, needing a cleaning and tuning. As the first day passed, parts started missing; the bench, the panel in front of the harp. I knew that no one would pick it up now.I started to photograph it before the harp went to the scrap hunters. As time went by, it was the wood that was removed and all that was left was the metal harp and strings.
