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.



urban ganesha poster

Posted October 12, 2007

We’ll finish the week with another grafitti poster- an image of the amiable Hindu deity Ganesha, complete with shades.

Note: upon reflection, those are empty eye sockets rather than sunglasses – here, Ganesh is holding his eyes in his hand. Not standard Hindu symbology I don’t believe; if anyone can share some insight into this variation, please comment.
