The Art Deco Dude

Spring Stirring by Donal Hord. On display in La Jolla at the Scripps Oceanographic Institute (off to the side). After photographing Donal's exterior work for awhile, you learn you need to bring along a soft cloth & some water to clean the dust & bird poop off of them if you want to create a quality exposure. #ArtDeco #DonalHord #LaJolla #SanDiegoCounty

2222 Taraval Street in #SanFrancisco #California. #ArtDeco #7Eleven 📸:me/02/2025 . Gutted to here the interior burned down in 02/2026, so I hope they rebuild & re-open since this location is my favorite 7-Eleven EVER (even though San Pedro, Los Angeles, California has one but it was built 6 yrs ago, so,,,

It seems like you can't go 300 feet on Taraval Street without bumping into another Art Deco building: EVEN THE 7-Eleven is Art Deco ! This one is 318 Taraval Street. 📸: me/02/2025 My #SanFrancisco #ArtDeco map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1BHaLQufjoYxYfUUnw6R66yDkJxM&usp=sharing
