Street scene at the corner of 17th and Bryant, San Francisco

This simple – or maybe not so simple – street scene was photographed at a somewhat busy corner in San Francisco, where a woman was about to cross the street with her dog, a van and a delivery truck were about to enter the intersection, a building reflected morning light, and masses of electric bus cables ran overhead.

A painted-over red zone curb, San Francisco.

I’m not quite certain where this photograph came from, aside from the recollection that I made it as I walked down Bryant Street.

A man checks his phone as he waits on a corner in front of a blue shop.

The man on the corner, engrossed by his smartphone and oblivious to his surroundings was my initial interest in the scene. Then I noticed the prevalence of blue tones and the interesting and strange, if you look at it the right way, window display of lampshades and a few other things.
