In March, as our world changed, I began to see and explore my neighborhood a bit differently. I’m not the stay at home type, but I do believe in staying safe, particularly in this dense urban environment. Taking appropriate precautions, I take long walks with my camera nearly every day looking to capture abrupt changes in San Francisco’s Mission and South of Market neighborhoods.
In photographic terms, the lens is “stopped down.” And as you walk our streets, you see what’s closed down—or “cerrado” in Spanish. While some changes are obvious, and some are hidden from public view, I’m looking for photo stories that will resonate beyond the “shelter in place” that currently defines this era.
