Mural Reflection
I took this shot in San Francisco while wandering around the city with Robyn earlier this year. The mural was very colorful and bright on it's own but I wanted to capture it in a different way. By facing across the street and framing the mural within the simple and muted shades of the restaurant, I was able to create a more complete shot.
The bright lighting on the mural side of the street helped the painting 'pop' out of the frame.By the way Robyn took a shot of me in front of the mural and the photo ended up being selected for a University of Pennsylvania photo exhibition. Maybe she’ll post it on her blog sometime.

I've never noticed this mural. that is a great place to eat if you haven't been. It's kind of pricey but my gf paid for lunch that day.
Nice image, and thanks for the plug for my photo! :) Why don't you post my photo here (or maybe link it to this day's photo), since I don't know how many people will get down to Philly to see it and it would kind of not fit in with all the bunny shots on my blog!
That was a good idea, it really looks like its painted on the glass in a way!
Cool!
Thanks for the comments.
Maybe I'll post the other photo when Robyn's exhibition is coming up.
I first believed the glass was painted!
It took me some time to understand the trick :-)
Well done !
Thanks for the comments,
Mona-The place was actually closed when we went there, it did look interesting though.
Sidney-I wasn't really trying to cause an optical illusion but that's interesting that it did.
Ver cool shot. I love the colours here. I would like to see this same shot at night when the neon sign is lit up.
Good point D macintyre, but there weren't any lights on the mural so all that brilliant color would be lost at night.
i cant wait to go to San Francisco. Me and Boyfriend are going there soon. This looks like a neat place and you got a great shot of it.
Thanks Amanda,
You guys will love SF, make sure you get a good balance of touristy stuff (the wharf, golden gate) and the real stuff (neighborhoods, union square).
Well that is cool that the picture with you was selected. Off to Robyn's blog...
nice reflection off the wall :)
Thanks for the comments,
eph- Robyn hasn't posted this one, I'll probably put hers up in the next few weeks.
