Architectural Forms, San Francisco. San Francisco, California. September 16, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

Black and white photography of juxtaposed architectural forms in downtown San Francisco, California.

This is another “urban landscape” – this one obviously focusing on the juxtapositions of dark and light (both light/shadow and white/black), vertical and horizontal, the inclusion of a single curved shape at the upper right, and the effect of converging perspective lines. Although this looks like a photograph that more likely would have been shot from the tripod, this was actually done handheld while walking up Market Street not too far from the San Francisco Bay on a morning when Bay fog was just clearing away near the waterfront.
