HE MIGHT BE...just a few simple lines of a graffiti image, but by the look in his eyes, I detect he is enjoying a bowlful of great tobacco, probably Prince Albert. I know, I have been smoking PA for 60 years. Great capture. No tattoos, however, decorate my limbs, information nobody needs to know, but information all the same. Thanks for letting me ramble on........Robert

THE TEXT BELOW WRITTEN BY WALLYG
San Francisco - North Beach: City Lights Bookstore
City Lights Bookstore, at 261 Columbus Avenue, was founded in 1953 and owned by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, one of the first Beat Generation poets to arrive in San Francisco, and Peter D. Martin.
The nation's first all-paperback bookstore, City Lights has expanded several times over the years and now offers three floors of both new-release hardcovers and quality paperbacks. In 1955, Ferlinghetti launched City Lights Publishers with the now-famous Pocket Poets Series; since then the press has gone on to publish a wide range of titles, both poetry and prose, fiction and nonfiction, international and local authors.

I do not know if these doors are in old Hong Kong or in an area of China zoned for reconstruction. I would like to hope that these doors would open to a new and refurbished quarters.
The textures of the structure featured are the crowing excellence of this photograph. The lighting, filtered by sunlight, adds what might be likened to the lighting of a stage production. The colors include a full range of the spectrum and could be used for painting almost any genre of painting. The contemporary posters give the image the slight humor to use for comparing the old with the new, the traditional with the changes, or perhaps they are holiday messages, thus creating hope.

HOW DO I SEE THIS PAINTING? IS IT MORE THAN A PAINTING, BUT AN ESSAY ABOUT OUR PURPOSE ON EARTH?
This is a consolidated work of extreme knowledge about a wide-array of subject matter, combined with what I would suspect is an eclectic philosophy, or the philosophy of one seeking wisdom of the ages.
There are symbols of a multitude of defining ideals, reminders of a search by past cultures and causes for the truth. Within this assortment of graphic excellence is a theme of simplicity, a kind of river of goodness trying to flow smoothly.
From my position as a viewer, I see grief and I see joy, but moreover, I see a hope that is present in all who are alive and seeking goodness and joy. It is the kind of painting that exercises one's mind. My congratulations to the artist whose talent created this graphic pleasure.
