A street scene in San Francisco with a crouching man wearing orange
Today we take a little break from nature photography and head to San Francisco, one of my favorite places to do street photography. I suppose one reason it is a favorite is that it is so close — typically I hop on a train very early in the morning to arrive there around dawn (or a bit later this time of year) and then set out on foot to explore. It is also a favorite because, well, it is San Francisco. What a place — even with recent changes and overcrowding. The City borders to San Francisco Bay, it is full of diverse and interesting neighborhoods, and the people range from locals to out-of-town visitors.
This photograph is bound to seem a bit strange to those of you have stuck with me through a few weeks of redwood forest photography — what happened and what’s going on here?! I don’t want to explain too much — partly because a photograph can often reveal whatever it has to say on its own, partly because I don’t want to clutter it up with too many words, and partly because you can discover some stuff about it on your own if you choose to. Color is one clue…
