People in a crosswalk, San Francisco
There is not a whole lot to say (or is there?) about this photograph, except that I like it. I made it on a walking day in downtown San Francisco a month and a half ago. In some downtown areas of The City, especially along sections of Market Street, there is a combination of interesting and diverse people doing a wide range of things and some very interesting light at times.
The light was perhaps part of what triggered the choice to make a photograph here. It was a relatively sunny day, but down in the urban canyon there isn’t a lot of direct light. However, there is a lot of reflected light which arrives by bouncing back and forth among the tall buildings in a manner not unlike that by which canyon light arrives in the Southwest.
