"Photographer Gary Leonard stands in front of the "Not a Cornfield" corn field, which is located just north of Chinatown and within half a mile from El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. Not a Cornfield, a 32-acre project created by artist Lauren Bon, transformed 32 acres of industrial brownfield into a cornfield for one agricultural cycle. The City of Los Angeles dedicated this field, also known as Southern Pacific's Cornfield Yard, as Cultural Monument #82 for its role as the Southern Pacific's River Station railroad yard. As of 2006, this location became known as Los Angeles State Historic Park. Gary Leonard has been a photojournalist for over thirty years, specializing in anything and everything in Southern California. His photographs are regularly featured in the L.A. Downtown News, as well as other numerous publications. Photo dated: September 25, 2005."
