Colorized photo from 1886
Original title: Fish Alley
Location: Chinatown, San Francisco

Near the wharf's in San Francisco, Chinatown, they sold fish. This area here is known as fish alley, they obviously sold fresh fish, ducks, and what looks like fresh eggs.

The locals know this street as "the street of virtuous harmony". To the outsiders however, it was not so virtuous. You see, besides the dead fish smell, the streets were always wet. It was a combination of horse manure and people spitting on said manure. That would cause it to get moldy and slimy. This moisture would create a fog that always seemed to be in the are.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
