Creator notes
What works here
Shoot straight-on for clean color blocks; crouch low to fill the frame with the lettering. Mid-morning gives the most even color on the wall. Limited sidewalk space — be ready to move when groups arrive.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Mid-morning to early afternoon
Lighting
Direct sun mid-day can flatten colors; overcast is actually ideal for saturation.
Crowd
Steady throughout the day; lines on weekends
Parking
Street meters on Travis; a paid lot half a block south
