Extra Frames is a monthly compilation of images captured by Long Beach Post photographers that are, well, extra. The photos were not used in a story for one reason or another but are too good to simply fade into obscurity and languish in the archives, forever unpublished.

Long Beach is home to a vibrant community of people who celebrate culture through art. Their stories deserve a platform.
