Friends, do me a favor and walk around the block wherever you live. Do you see any contractor stamps in the concrete sidewalk or driveways? How many?
I’m wondering if #Oakland has more of these than anywhere else, or if it’s just my proximity bias.
Since the start of the pandemic, @laureola and I have been taking (almost) daily walks, sometimes seeking a new East Bay street so I can shoot more stamps. There are now over 1,000 photos in the album.
