 So this is the infamous "gum wall" in an alley behind an old theater in Seattle. Please except my apologies for the "gross factor" here ;)
I was very disappointed to go to this place and find the alley completely full of construction materials. This severely limited the shooting angles I could use and I had to go there late in the day after construction workers left. I needed to squeeze my tripod in next to a very large trash dumpster to get this angle- which forced me to get much too close to this disgusting wall! :P

I liked this one a lot. Have you heard of focus stacking? It might be cool to try on something like this.
