RIP James Gurley
The sign mourns the death of James Gurley, a member of the rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company and “instrumental in the formation of the Hippie counter culture that began here in the Haight-Ashbury.” The Haight is one of the closest neighborhoods to my home. I was photographing the sign when this gentleman stopped to light his cigarette, and I thought it looked like a picture.
