Roi Tan

This is the scene that drew my attention during a previously mentioned commercial shoot. I decided I had to come back and get a shot of this old sign, painted on a wall, before it got covered up. Many older buildings in the downtown area have had old advertisements or signage painted on their sides, but as people try to rehabilitate these places many old adverts are being covered up or torn down.

I have a soft spot in my heart for old or retro signage and ads. Would that we could keep them all!

I have more from my walk around this area yesterday that I will post over the next few days...

PS tweaking: levels...

Nice picture. :( on the signs getting covered. I hope you're able to capture them with your camera at least!

Extremely cool. That's in my top five of yours of all time. It's art. I'd crop the car and signal from the left, but that'd be it.
Print it big and frame it!
