Scott Williams Stencil Archive Update

Just one early-2000s snap from the Lower Haight Burger Joint.

Scott Williams' Stencil Archive continues to get updated, specifically with a new sub-Archive of his Public Works. These images are all from the late 1990s to early 2000s, taken from my box of developed photographs. They have been rescanned and even stitched together where possible.

According to file dates of backups, these images were last scanned in 2002! I know that a few were scanned for the "Stencil Nation" project, and the Lower Haight mural was stitched together for the first time around 2008, but here at last are many of Scott's public murals that were still running when I arrived in the late 1990s. 

There were a few newbie errors while using a film camera. While working on this last week, I asked myself why I didn't snap photos of Scott's Burger Joint walls, and the answer was that I didn't want to bother the folks eating in the booths in front of them. And I still remember taking a bus by Scott's Amoeba Records construction-wall stencils in the Upper Haight, and going back a few weeks later with my camera to capture them to only discover that the store was open and the amazing, large, stencils of musicians were gone! I recall Scott did not keep the cut outs of those images because they were too big.

I will continue to revise filenames, and there are only a few sub-Archives of photos left for that.
