A photo of the television. It's a still of The Invisible Man, from 1933. We're looking at Henry Travers, who plays Clarence in It's A Wonderful Life

Clarence, is that you?

A wooden sculpture of a skeleton, reclined and holing a book up to its face. Its feet are bolted to a pedaling mechanism, like a recumbent bicycle.

Those feet are pedaling now

Various cardboard cutouts pinned to the wall—ducks, a boot, a lamp, a traffic cone, a street sign that reads SHARE THE ROAD, and a skeleton climbing a wooden palette with a paintbrush. There's a table against the wall with tools and supplies on it.

All the pieces so far

Some cardboard shapes laid out on the table forming a head, ribcage, and hips for a skeleton. More strips of cardboard are ready to be included, and a small black knife with a yellow plastic handle sits among it all.

This little knife is so good for cutting corrugated cardboard, wow

A skeleton sculpture made of cardboard. It's kneeling with an outstretched hand, and there's a wooden armature barely visible behind it that apparently enables movement

Got it standing and moving, wow

A distant shot of some architectural detail on a bridge across the LA river. Various horizontal arches and perpendicular supporting walls meet at unexpected angles, creating interesting shadows and lines of sight.

Red Car Bridge

A wide-angle shot of the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge. Six arches span across the water in series, each supported by a long support wall that meets the foot bridge in the foreground (from which the picture was taken). Murky green water trickles down the avenues created by the walls.

Red Car Bridge

A close look at one of the arches that makes of the span of the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge. Some pigeons are gathered on a support wall to one side, and there's a little vegetation growing where the walls meet the water.

Red Car Bridge

A long shot of a section of the bank of the LA river. There's a dry outlet hole of some kind, the water level is very low, but there's tall grasses growing.
