D122: West Side Story

Last week I shot a 5-day series on the east side of our downtown area. Today begins a 5-day on the west side. The west side has a bit more history, and was certainly more of the iconic downtown during it's early days.

I found this mural in a parking lot this morning, painted on the side of a photog's studio. If I recall, the mural has nothing to do with the photog that occupies the building. I think it was more of a "downtown revitalization" project. I do find humor in the fact that the photog in question is decades away from embracing social media, much like the mural itself.
