Here is another recent San Francisco street photograph, this one made at the end of the work day as folks were heading home… and as the usual tourists were out and about, somewhere between seeing the sites and looking for a place to get dinner. Because it was not mid-autumn and Daylight Savings Time had ended, the sun was going down early enough to bring softer light at this time of day and to allow the various sources of artificial light to have a greater effect on the scene.
I generally prefer not to assign any particular ideas about a photograph like this one, instead allowing viewers to make their own associations and find whatever meaning makes sense to them. I will share that the variety of appearances and poses of these folks as they step off the curb attracted me. as did the interesting quality of the late-day light in the urban canyon.
