Photographed in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles in 2023 using 35mm experimental film which has been pre-soaked in different chemicals and organic material which decays the film. The unexposed film is then dried before loading to be exposed in my Nikon F100 film camera.
The United Methodist Church was established in June 1896 as The Japanese Methodist Episcopal Mission of Los Angeles. It was founded by first-generation Issei immigrants from southern Japan. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbour on December 7 in 1941, many evacuated families stored their belongings in the church. After WWII, members returned to Los Angeles with nowhere to live, and the church served as both a spiritual home and a hostel for displaced families
