The Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP) is an artists’ collective formed in 1992 by six North Mission residents who facilitate other artists creating murals in the Clarion Alley between Valencia and Mission Streets and in the surrounding areas. The stated goals of the project are social inclusiveness and aesthetic variety.

Hi David– I agree. I was mesmerized by the woman on the ladder how she achieved such great symmetry and balance of colors. It was very fun to watch and shoot. Thanks for stopping by and for your comment.

Wow! I could have been standing around watching this forever. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE color, as it says so much. My thought, even though unimportant: The colors you see are the reflections of the light that bounces off an object. However, sometimes the color we see is a reflection of the person who applies it!!!! Great post, Jane!
