The Wall on Valencia Street

I went back to 1240 Valencia to see how The Wall was looking and to take a few wide-angle photographs. This is the wall that was pasted-up with photos taken last weekend during the Wandering in the Comapany of Strangers workshop.

Hanging around on the sidewalk, the first thing I noticed was some people were slowing down and looking at the photos when walking by. Seemed like a good opportunity to find out what people in the neighborhood thought about the exhibition and to take some portraits.

Here are portraits of Amber, Valerie, and Gus with his dog Moko.

All thought it was pretty neat bringing art back to the people. And everyone said the photos were terrific. People asked how long the photos would stay up. The answer, of course, is until new art is pasted over what’s there now….
