Buildings Near 3rd and Market

Three buildings near the corner of Third and Market Streets in San Francisco.

This is a photograph I made in mid-2008 while on one of my walks around The City. I was wandering around shooting handheld, mostly focusing on street scenes, when this “urban landscape” juxtaposing the shapes and colors of these three buildings near 3rd and Market Streets caught my attention.

Plastic Covered Window

Plastic covers the window of a stucco house being remodeled in San Jose, California.

This photograph was taken literally within walking distance of my home – I know this because I walked there! At first the slanting shadows dropping from right to left across the wall caught my attention. Then the interplay between the shadows and the deep textures of the stucco wall caught my eye. Eventually, I began to like the plastic sheet (obviously put there to protect the glass from paint) and the way it obscures the interior of the building. In the end I can’t make up my mind whether the photo is simply a geometric/texture study or perhaps something a little more mysterious.

Black and white photograph of an urban home and front yard after rain, San Jose, California.

Continuing with the “urban landscape” theme – and there are quite a few more of these in the pipeline – this is the front of an older home in a San Jose neighborhood, photographed in the early evening after rain had just cleared.
