As we were returning to work from lunch, a co-worker asked if I had seen the hieroglyph couch. I said I hadn’t. She pointed down the block and across the street. I detoured over to take a look. This is about the fourth or fifth large piece of furniture left out on this four-block stretch of Shattuck over the last few months. But it’s the first to feature such fine inscriptions. The long-dead christmas tree was an added bonus.

What’s New is Old Again

Afternoon Edition 4. Oakland CA. April, 2011.

I am now on the fourth run of The Afternoon Edition, wherein I explore the environment around my place of employment. It looks like a very rich area for exploration, except there is an official warning to not venture into the neighborhood to our immediate West as there have been problems. Anyway, this shot uses a Lightroom preset downloaded from flickr friend underthewaves called Ultimate Vintage. It sure worked on this one.
