Man in Suit Between Two Cars

Man in Suit Between Two Cars. San Francisco, California. March 6, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

A man in a dark suit holding a bag and standing between two cars in front of old buildings in downtown San Francisco, California.

A quick street photo while walking into the fringes of the Tenderloin in San Francisco on the first weekend of March. I'm not sure how much sense this photograph may make to others, but there is a lot in it that appeals to me. For one thing I like the muted color scheme - most everything is some shade of black or near-gray, with just a few spots of color. Even the man between the two cars is wearing only black and white clothing. Then there is the very busy but blocky pattern of the front of the buildings behind the man and the cards. However, to my eye at least, several types of order emerge from the complexity of these shapes. For example several elements create forms that rise diagonally from right to left: the two cars, the two balconies, the line through the left window, the dark doorway, and the lighter window in the center right section. And then there are the window reflections - which are becoming a bit of an urban photography theme for me. I also look at the man and wonder what he is doing - why is he wearing that particular set of clothes? What is in the small bag he holds? What is he looking for?
