Brightly Painted Wall, Mission District. San Francisco, California. February 20, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Detail of a brightly painted red, yellow, blue, and white wall in San Francisco’s Mission District.
One sub-category of my photography focuses on businesses and shops and so forth that are not cookie-cutter chains. I love the way that these businesses seem to collect their own character over time, and I also like the wild and diverse ways that small business owners present themselves. I spotted this wild conjunction of brightly painted colors as I walked along 24th street in the Mission District of San Francisco on a Sunday afternoon. In this version of the photograph (yes, there is another) I framed a small section of the building wall closely to try to fill the frame with these colors.
