More Is Always on the Way

I had the pleasure of seeing Bryon Boyce's "More is Always Better" last night at Southern Exposure Art Gallery. It is part of a large group show entitled and themed around the word "Boom!" I was amazed by the double entendres he was able to create by being at the right place at the right time, with the right specific perspective to shoot these amazing signage portraits. I recognized a few of the shots, as signs I had also seen around San Francisco, but the way the Boyce presents them in context with other signs, create a social commentary that I would have never imagined.


Boom! at SOEX until December 18th

Death of a 76 Ball

Kinda sad to see these things go. When I see one of these signs it reminds me of my "Sprirt of 76" swimming trunks that I had when I was four years old in 1976. In some signage graveyard somewhere there is probably a giant 76 ball overflowing the top of a giant KFC bucket, resembling some sort of artistic representation of the deteriorating effects of chemicals and fast food on our planet....as it slowly leaches trace elements into the groundwater below it.
