San Francisco walks, 2.

I always carry a camera, but the extremely sunny weather (and the sun is brighter here than anywhere in Northern Europe) makes it difficult to get some motives. It is, for example, almost impossible to photograph shop windows because there is so much reflection in the glass.



I was initially only interested in the typography in this window. It may be a little over-designed in its nostalgic style, but it is a 100% fit for the subject matter and the clientele in this neighbourhood. That also clearly shown by the type of dog displayed in the window next to it, which I had not seen at first. Poodles are almost cartoons of dogs in the first place, but three of them in lightblue, pink and white certainly make a statement.

Hi Erik,
if you like taking pictures of reflective surfaces during sunnt days and want to avoid reflections: try to use a polarising filter, they really make miracles :)
