Black and white photograph of a Mission District storefront with UFO flyer in the window, San Francisco, California.

The intricate and curved wrought iron work on the front of this building in San Francisco’s Mission District first caught my attention. As I came closer I thought that the underlying textures and patterns of blinds and stuff in the store and the street reflections might be interesting. Then I notice the small pamphlet taped to the window: “UFOs and their Mission.” The mystery deepens… :-)

Rusty hinge on an old wooden garage door in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.

Finally, I think that this may really be the fine image in this series! The garage door with its weathered paint and rusty fixtures is in a small back alley in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.

Very old and worn out garage details in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.

Another (perhaps the second-to-last) in the series of photographs of these old and very worn garage doors found in a Mission District ally in San Francisco.

Four pink apartment doors with steps and white columns in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.

Walking in an area like the Mission District, I begin to see many things that would otherwise completely escape my notice. Although I’m sure I’ve seen them before, I recently became away of the prevalence of these building entrances with rows of four nearly identical doorways – this must have been some sort of common building design in San Francisco at some point. Here, as is also fairly common, the colors chosen for the paint were a bit unusual.
