15 Chilling Photos of LA as a Ghost Town

Photographer Robert LeBlanc captures the effects of COVID-19 on some of LA's busiest intersections and neighborhoods.

On March 19th, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti ordered residents to stay home, to protect themselves and others from the threat of COVID-19. The city now looks unlike it ever has. This series shows some of the formerly busiest intersections and neighborhoods in LA, once filled with thousands of people and cars, now completely vacant.
