Graffiti, Murals & Urban Art

Spent yesterday with Karla and Francesca, exploring the Mission in San Francisco.  We have been to the Franklin Square area many times to pick up fabric, gear and work events.  This time we went to explore, see the various murals and of course do a mini photo shoot with France.

Found a great retaining wall piece (while chasing after France) that had lots of little details and textures.  You can find it on Florida St. just past Coffee Bar and right before 17th.

The Calumet Mural by Sirron Norris is an instant eye catcher, spanning both street sides of the camera shop.  You could easily spend all afternoon taking in this mural.

The sidewalks and streets were full of small pieces and even the posters and stickers were amazing and made you want to stop and closely example every light post, pole and stop sign.

Here's to Exploring

Woke up early this morning and drove into the city for the "Run or Dye" 5K, only to find out that the event is not until tomorrow.  After having a good laugh, Karla and I decided to spend the morning exploring and taking photos.  With as busy as life can get some times, it is nice to have unexpected moments to just embrace life and explore.  A chance to find a gem, hidden right in front of our eyes, and in a place we would least expect it.
