Photo Essay - Haight / Ashbury

This a photo of the popular "Wasteland" Clothing store.
I liked how the cross walked, almost led right into the doors.



I saw this van, and unquestionably had to take a picture of it.
I think it pretty much sums up the Haight, especially right
in from of the Ameoba Music Store.


This Wall, just makes, me think of these people with
a very long story.


I'm not really sure what to think of this, but i think thats
what the artist was going for.


The Boom Box is what especially attracted me to this picture.
And its almost as if the blue and yellow lines are sound waves
coming out of it.


haha.


I've always thought that it looks like your leading into the desert,
when you walk out side of this store.


The artist that drew this gave great emotion and detail.
And i alsoliked how you can still the street lights on top of the
mural,showing hoiw its just on the side of the street, not on
a canvas, or in somegallerey.
