Palimpsests
With an exaggerated sense of freedom (due entirely to being done with jury duty) I walked down Spencer Alley and out into the Saturday morning sunshine on my way to Mystic Haircutting over near the intersection where Haight meets Market. Even on a bright summer day the streets of the Inner Mission are pretty much deserted at such an early hour on a weekend. After walking a few blocks on Valencia I noticed some alleyway murals that I knew I had photographed in the past. They had changed almost beyond recognition, so I took a minute to photograph them over again.
After a few more blocks on Valencia I came to another alleyway where the same thing had happened.
