Every Sunday I go into my archives and choose a photo to represent the end of this week.

The two letters covered by leaves in this photo are “SF” indicating the photo was shot in San Francisco. This sign is posted in a park very near to the northernmost tip on San Francisco. Pretty much the only things north of this sign include the park immediately beyond the sign and the Fort Point area underneath the Golden Gate, you know, where Madeleine attempts to jump to her death in Vertigo?

I chose this photo for today because, until recently, it was one of my most viewed photos. As of this writing, it has 87 views on Flickr, no comments, and no favorites. I never quite figured out why it was getting hits. The photo itself is flat and uninteresting. While the concept of the photo is absurd, it isn’t that humorous. It does represent my continuing frustration in figuring out what makes a good photo and what people are looking for.
