I got a break between jobs in late September. Lucky me! It allowed me to get out with my camera during my favorite time of year in San Francisco. There is something about the quality of light in San Francisco during the fall that is unlike any other time of the year. If I were to try to describe it one word, it would be “vivid”.
I dedicate this gallery to my love of light. Beautiful reflective, refractive, energetic, dynamic, transparent, invisible light. Light and shadow. Chasing light. Hope.
A series of murals with the theme “70 Years Inspired by Hope” sponsored by St. Anthony’s have sprung up on mid-Market Street.

This 70 foot tall metal sculpture called “Sea Change”, by abstract expressionist sculptor Mark di Suvero, is located at South Beach Park, near Pier 40 and the SF Giants ballpark. Weighing in at 10 tons, its circular top moves in the wind.

The Lefty O'Doul Bridge, also known as the Third Street Bridge, is a bascule drawbridge that crosses Mission Creek Channel. Located next to the San Francisco Giants ballpark, it connects China Basin to the Mission Bay neighborhood via Third Street. It was completed in 1933, and was designed by Joseph Strauss - the same Joseph Strauss who designed the world famous Golden Gate Bridge.
Construction is almost finished on the Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission Street.

I was doing a headshot photoshoot for a friend at Salesforce Park. A security guard walked past us and I thought that he might give us a hard time because my friend was not wearing a mask. Instead, he enthusiastically directed me to this spider web to take its picture.
Shadows on boarded-up windows on the Flood Building.
I love the way bills posted become wrinkled and create textures, and reflect light. Plus I’m a big fan of Alicia Keys!
