Painted Lady
This was my second visit to San Francisco, four years after the first. On that original occasion, I discovered the ‘Painted Ladies’, old Victorian houses that were rescued from demolition and repainted in a palette of bright colours. This was the harbinger of urban revival projects across the United States, reaching my home city of St. Pete too. In San Francisco, having photographed a host of ‘Painted Ladies’ during my original visit, I was keen to pick up the thread from where I left off. I recall that this house was located in the Russian Hill district.
