The Store with Beautiful Things
I am a fan of signs and graffiti (though I don't condone defacing property) and snap shots of them whenever I find something that catches my eye. It's like a side hobby to my side hobby of taking real pictures. Mixing it up is fun. I am a landscape guy first and foremost - at least that's what I think of myself as - but in reality I guess I am a travel photographer. To me, being a travel photographer means taking shots of things that represent a place - that's my excuse for taking pictures of anything and everything that catches my eye. At this point I am rambling. So, here's a shot I took in Chinatown recently, while I was in San Francisco. Chinatown is an area that is ripe with photo opportunities. There is just so much culture squeezed in the area and I find it really interesting. It's also fun to shop there! Anyways, I saw this painted on the side of a wall and just had to capture it. I love how the name is so simple - and accurate - so what else could you possibly call it?
