I don't always get to spend much time in San Francisco, but when I do end up walking the city streets I feel like a tourist needing to snap photos of EVERYTHING. Each corner I turn reveals a new site or interesting architectural angle. Every fence I see is begging to be looked behind. I feel like I just struck gold when I find an empty lot or abandoned space. Weeks like this remind me I need to spend more time exploring.
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.
