One of the things I’ve discovered that I love to photograph are signs – usually storefront signs – but other kinds as well. I seem to notice them more when I’m away from home. Perhaps that’s because I see the local ones so often I don’t really look at them. I’ve photographed some wonderful signs while walking around downtown Charleston, South Carolina in the past couple of years. I thought I’d share some of them with you today.
