San Francisco/Projects

I’ve been working every day since arriving in San Francisco, squeezing as much shooting in as possible before the weather deteriorates. I’ve had mostly sunny dry conditions, though there have been a few stray showers. The shot above was taken just after a brief downpour early in the morning.

The projects I am shooting are mostly affordable housing–except for a market rate loft building–and all of them exhibit the high quality of subsidized housing in the Bay Area. David Baker, the architect I am working for, is a large part of the story. He has brought design excellence and a sense of urbanism that one rarely sees in such housing. Certainly not in New York City.
