Dan Tom, Photographer, San Francisco

Description

This vertical street photograph captured by Dan Tom presents a high-angle view looking down a narrow, stone-paved alleyway. A lone person wearing a high-visibility vest is visible walking down the steps while sweeping with a traditional broom. The alley is enclosed by old, multi-story buildings featuring heavily weathered plaster in shades of blue, yellow, and beige. Architectural details include a vibrant green window shutter, a wooden front door, and small fabric awnings. The natural lighting casts soft shadows down the corridor, highlighting the rich textures of the aged walls and stone surfaces.
