Who knew that I must photograph every sign I encounter?
The trick is to cull the signs and show the most interesting.
BUT I am astounded at how I am attracted to them.
As I kept exporting the variety of signs from different locales, I remembered my travels and who I was with and what we were doing.
Just being out and about I see a ton of signs.
I am going to me more mindful of my capturing them and figuring out why I press the shutter button.
Guess I read them and document what I read.
A sampling of signs-
Chinatown New York City
Greenwich Village NYC
Coney Island NY Sign
Coney Island
Coney Island
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Café Roma, great place. Especially around Christmas time.
I love the key mosaic on the key sign. How boring life would be without signs. Never thought about how important they are before this blog post.
What a collection, I think many people are drawn to photographing signs, I have quite a few. I love your Laundromat shot and think it would be even better in black and white, it has a timeless feel and loads of atmosphere.
Thanks Gilly for taking time to look at the signs and will take your suggestion and try the laundromat one in b&w.
Absolutely love your collection of signs. As Lucid Gypsy said, what a collection. Electric signs, chalkboard signs, paper signs… I like the Heinz-tomato sauce one a lot. We love Heinz tomato sauce a lot here in Australia, but we don’t have a sign like that dedicated to the sauce 🙂
Thanks got your visit and good words today. The Heinz factory is in Pittsburgh but they make the ketchup in Ohio
My favourite sign is the one that says “hand-writing reveals your character.” I love how it shows its age with the paint wearing away 🙂
Thanks Rainee. That was a good find.
“This is not a leak”………how thoughtful of them to tell people. 😀
You have captured some very interesting signs! I still like that keys one… 🙂
A nice variety!
Thanks RoSy
I love signs too! These are terrific.
Thank you for your visit
Gerat collection, Ruth. Love the façade of the Keys Made building. That takes patience that I do not possess. 🙂
Thanks for your good words. Your visits and comments always give the blog some life.
