Begun in 2019, Scoots of Hazard is an ongoing street photography project of keeled over electric scooters on the streets of Los Angeles. More info below.

For-profit, drop-anywhere electric scooter rental touches on so many of Los Angeles’ current issues: Privatization of public space, gentrification, prioritization of tourism, insufficient public transportation… Not to mention a general matter of ableism. The scooters raise the essential question, "Who are the streets for?" Never is this question more pointed than when a scooter has collapsed across the sidewalk. That the companies colonizing the streets have no incentive to even create an effective kickstand speaks volumes. By documenting this quirk, I aim to reawaken viewers to the absurdity of this neoliberal enterprise.
