MEMEstreets (Now four years old!), features photographs of ephemeral art (graffiti, cryptic markings, and found art, both deliberate and accidental), discovered in the San Francisco Bay area and documented with my trusty Nikon digital camera. New photos are posted erratically, but I shoot for Monday, Wednesday and Friday.



Sachem

This remarkable stencil/poster of a resplendant Native American figure holding a large snake is halfway down a fairly creepy alley in downtown SF - Ambrose Bierce alley , a narrow, seldom used, one block long, one-car-in-one-direction stretch that currently has construction equipment blocking one end and is obviously being used as a full-service toilet by the homeless. 

The poster looks pretty fresh – the cut edges aren’t peeled away, and it hasn’t been tagged itself.
