Paint peeling in Chinatown
I took this photo of an old building with peeling paint in San Francisco's Chinatown. I used the sign (Clay Street I think) to break up the frame into sections so that the paper lantern is isolated from the old sign at the top.I do wish the light was more dynamic but given the overcast sky, this was the best I could get. My favorite aspect of this photo is the detail and texture of the peeling paint. I tried figuring out what was originally written but I can't make it out.

Chinatown? Hoping to find some ancient chinese herb to make you attractive to the women. I dont blame you i've seen you with no shirt. Other than that it's the best picture of a dirty junked up side of a building that i've seen in the last 30 minutes. Oh and thanks for making the Eagles lose.
Peace

Ian,
I think the Eagles needed an ancient Chinese herb last night because they got severely beaten last night. And I guess you have a lot of time to make funny jokes since you aren't replying to the brilliant comments on your site.

Thanks Doris,
Looking back I think I should have switched to black and white since there wasn't great light. Although the color in the sign and paper lantern is nice.
i like this image very much. cannot really say why but anhyhow it is great for me.
