It seems wherever I’ve gone, I end up coming across a pair of shoes (or more) flung over utility wires. This bunch of shoes was spotted over an alley in The Mission in San Francisco.

Thought I’d have some fun with this old-looking storefront in San Francisco and attempt to make the image look old, too.

The industry of Hollywood is all about fantasy … so it’s appropriate for some of the art in Hollywood to be the same. Here’s a cool trompe-l’oeil just off Hollywood Blvd.

Check out the front roll sign … That looks like it could be an interesting bus ride! Spotted in San Francisco at the beginning of the month.

There are two tales of ignorance tied to this photo.
1) It seemed pretentious to me at first, the idea of a hotel proudly selling self-promotional T-shirts.
While quietly scoffing in my head, I looked around to see what hotel this was.
The sign said Hotel California … and the $5 (I think) T-shirts on sale at the front desk suddenly made sense.
2) Holding up my camera to grab a photo of this sign, someone in a group of young men walking by, likely all in their early 20s, offered to take a picture of me with the sign in the background.
I declined and explained I wanted only the sign, because of the song. A quizzical look fell upon his face.
“Hotel California,” I said. “You know, The Eagles?”
His expression remained unchanged.
“Never mind,” I replied. “Just Google it when you get to a computer.”
