Disappearing Signs
Aging buildings wear hand-painted signs with grace I don't find in contemporary neon and machine-made graphics. Once, men (and they were undoubtedly men) climbed scaffolds with bucket and brush and painted bricks or wood with finesse.
Witness this disappearing advertisement on the side of a decrepit building.
I'm glad I caught it before it disappears forever.
