Nighttime pedestrians at a Chinatown street corner

I’m back with another colorful night street photograph this time. This one is from last summer, when a group of us met up to wander around parts of downtown San Francisco on a lovely evening. We eventually ended up in the Chinatown area, some photographing the environment there and others — like me! — photographing the people who were visiting.

This is more or less just a photograph of people walking by at a street corner. However, there are bits and pieces that I think are interesting. In the larger scale, the scene is a wild and complex arrangement of colors and patters, made more intense but he effect of the electrical lighting at night. There are several lines and planes of interest in the photograph, at least the way I look at it. And line extends from the back of the foreground figures, though the family on the corner (with the young girls in their interesting jackets), and on through the man walking away behind them. I’ll leave it to you to find others…
