When i took this photo of downtown Oakland, I think I was remembering the Georgia O'Keeffe city paintings above. I was more interested in the shapes the buildings made against the patch of blue, but also liked the tiny neon light as a focus in the distance. One thing I love about cities is the feeling of being small next to large buildings. This scene with the old neon sign being dwarfed by the surroundings, but being the brightest color in the alley, forms a kind of balance or contrast I enjoy.
