There is a Foot on Geary St.

Hardley Able of the Earlimart Jimson Weed Gazette says: "Not since Irving Penn monumentalized Lucky Strikes to platinum has the cigaret butt received such due, and in the Foot on Geary Street, that is not the half of it…"

It's in the Muni bay in front of Martells Liquors at 20th Avenue; these pictures began in 1987 and end 2003. The last time I checked in 2011 it was still there, collecting its whathaveu. Nathan tries to correct me that Geary is not a Street, but a Boulevard, and a Grand one at that - its mail codes go from 94108 to 94121. But "there is a foot on Geary St." was the mutter that directed me to click my shutter the first time (after three years of notice) and this is what I mean by Language Photography...I recall my mild concern in 1997, when it was marked with orange paint as a defect to fix by a public works employee, but they never got around to repairing this impression made by a shoe cast in wet cement,
