Reviewing an old shot of San Francisco's Transamerica Pyramid, I discovered something completely unexpected: a bit of graffiti, on the exterior of the building, 600 feet above street level! At once, a testament to the resolution of our modern digital rigs, something that would ruin any large prints I made, and a good for a laugh.
You can see the original shot, zooms of the tag, and more details on my blog:

If you shot the Transamerica at 100mm or longer around August 2006, you might have caught it too! Please, if you happen to notice it in any of your San Francisco photos, if you would be so kind, please send me an email. I'm trying to reconstruct its lifespan.
Best Regards,
Steve
