We've all seen Los Angeles either playing itself or standing in for any number of other locations in TV and movies throughout the years... but what about the LA we don't see on screen? The details the cameras don't pick up, the less-popular or less-photogenic locations, the things even most residents miss as they zip from place to place on the freeways? Los Angeles, off screen presents the other LA, one photo at a time. (...okay, and maybe some of the famous places too. Because, let's face it, a lot of them are cool.)
