Here’s another one from a morning spent shooting alleys in Escondido.

This gem can be found a few doors down from my office. It’s amazing how different many of these shops look from the other side.

The rain let up for a brief period on Saturday morning so I explored a few alleys around town hoping to find some interesting shots.

This is an all too common sight these days. Though I work in this neighborhood I don’t get out of the office much so I was surprised to discover just how many shops are vacant right now.

Stay tuned for more shots taken in and around downtown Escondido.

I’ve sold my first print; a 16” x 24” print of the photo below. The buyer is a friend and I can’t wait to see the print hanging in her home.

I’m hoping this wasn’t the last sale
