San Francisco continues to be shut down and boarded up to prevent the spread of COVID-19. With that comes some new photographic opportunities. I hope you enjoy some of these!
A boarded up store in the Tenderloin was tagged and then painted over making these abstract designs made more visually appealing with shadows.
This is The Hair Shop on 4th Street. Usually there would be wigs on these. Now with the word “human” and the rows what heads, the scene looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
I have a hard time passing up a visually interesting self portrait. This is the Moncler store on Stockton Street in Union Square.
I just discovered this little buddha statue is on a stairway off Florence Street on Russian Hill. I love it!
Flowers brighten a beautiful spring day along Pacific Avenue.
Note of appreciation for those delivering packages and food on a Nob Hill door. Some people hardly ever leave their house.
I thought that this tryptic of stickers pasted on door outside a closed club off Polk Street were an apt commentary on where we are nowadays.
Sons & Daughters is a MICHELIN star restaurant on Nob Hill that usually offers a 9 course tasting menu for $145. They now have a $50 to-go meal. I was impressed that they left this golden pig along with a tip jar and bottles of wine on a table outside the restaurant on the sidewalk.
The rounded side of One Pine Street always offers up interesting window reflections.
Wonderful quote and art posted outside a closed store in the Financial District.
Window reflection of the Transamerica Pyramid on Columbus Avenue.
These lanterns outside a restaurant in Chinatown are a reminder that 2016 was the year of the fire monkey. We are now in the year of the metal rat. I fear that many small businesses are not going to make it to the end of this year.
Construction on the city’s Central Subway Project - already 2 years past it’s original estimated completion date.
Interesting street art is popping up on boarded up businesses.
Shadows at Salesforce Park.
Late afternoon light and wind make a giant Old Glory shine bright in front of 555 California Street.
