One of the things that attracts me to photography, and something I expect will creep into many of my posts here at street muse, is the way it changes how I look at things. Looking for interesting compositions as I walk through my day causes me to see hidden scenes of beauty or interest that brings a smile to my face, and I hope, yours.
So this evening as I sat in the orchestra pit of the Lyceum Theater in downtown San Diego at our first tech rehearsal for Star Repertory Theater’s production of Beauty and the Beast I noticed this scene.
Looking at the plaque on the wall, I can’t help but wonder: Is the proudly spray-painted “clean!” a command or a proclamation?

That’s a great question and, like most, I’m not sure anyone other than the painter can correctly answer.
I also like finding beauty in things that were unintended.
Well . . . . the items are stacked. So, I think it is a proclamation. If it was a command, the graffiti artist needs to add some angry eyes – o\ /o
Personally, I think this image would look great printed on canvas and hung in my office!
