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.

A grab-shot of window sill in a Mission District apartment. Not much more to say about this one…

Photograph of a person looking at mannequins in a store display window along a San Francisco street.

I posted a black and white version of this photograph a week or so ago, but I wasn’t quite able to give up the crazy colors in the display window of this store… so here is the color version.

Barred windows, mural paint, reflections in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.

Photograph of wall details that I noticed as I walked along 24th street in the Mission. The bars and the mural painting first caught my eye, and then I noticed the many layers including the bars reflected in the glass, nearby passers-by and cars reflected in the windows, and the businesses and other details across the street. I framed up a composition that I sort of liked and waited for this person to walk through the frame. He was actually more or less behind me at first, and I grabbed three frames as he went past – with this one placing him in the middle of one of the windows.
