Chinatown

 Photo Adventures with Tina and Mark…

On a rain-threatened, late fall morning the narrow streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown are trapped in a dull field of gray. There is a wave of disappointment that our photography will fall flat – not enough light to pull out the delicious textures, qualities and colors waiting under wraps. Maybe the clouds will crack open into some amazing possibility…or maybe not.

But then, an image is only an image and Chinatown, a world unto itself, always offers a diversity of visuals found nowhere else—like piles of dried fish in plastic bags and rows of boney bug-eyed fish on ice. And in the world of digital even dull images can benefit from a few moments of play.
