Just another day on my way to work…

I have to admit, that’s a “side” of me I don’t often see reproduced in photos. So that’s what I look like from the back, eh?

Transcribed:

.---/..-/-./../.--././.-.//.-/-./-..//..-./---/.-../.../---/--

Which translates to:

J U N I P E R A N D F O L S O M

Technically, letters should be separated by spaces and words by “/” (slashes), but who’s counting?

Juniper and Folsom is an otherwise nondescript T-intersection in San Francisco, consisting of a storage place, an autobody shop, and a custom bag shop. I wonder if there’s some more Morse code stencil graffiti there? Or hidden treasure?

Update, Update, Read All About It!
Josh Myer (of UNC and ibiblio fame) writes in to tell me that he visited Juniper and Folsom today (Nov 25) and found this (what I can only describe as a wheatpaste of a “knight with a thumbs-up head”):

Just in time for our paté party, I got three reproduction National Park screenprints back from Frame-O-Rama. They are WPA-era posters for Lassen, Zion, and the Grand Canyon.

You can read about the interesting history of these posters (and see more of the beautiful designs) at Ranger Doug’s Enterprises.

I’d previously written about my uncommon collaboration with Enda O’Donoghue, an Irish artist living in Germany who used a photo I’d taken as the basis for a pretty cool painting.

He just sent me an email letting me know his Thanksgiving painting based on my photo is on display in a Leipzig exhibition called Gedanken zur Revolution (Thoughts on Revolution). Rad!
