San Francisco 2.0

So I'm walking about, camera in hand as per usual, trying to train my monkey mind and hopefully catch a photo of something, anything so as not to return empty handed for the effort (as so often is the case). And I get to ponderin'- where are all the photo books/essays on San Francisco and its current myriad of problems (well, save for this bit of brilliance)- especially now that word has pretty much gotten out worldwide on what a godawful mess it's become. Where is the Rich and Poor of San Francisco 2019? Or perhaps, when it just comes down to it (and although very much appreciated), I just can't accept the celebratory model alone- no matter how good! We need all views incorporated to get a clearer, more realistic and somber view of this town, and its people, at this time- a San Francisco 3D/3.0 if you will!

Amongst other things to delve into and explore: tech life and the independent contractors that service them (eg- Uber drivers, cleaning women, delivery people, etc), the homeless (an estimated 80% were formerly housed in this city, many of them mothers with children that we don't necessarily see on the streets), the mentally ill and drug addicted randomly roaming about, refugees.. it's quite the list.

And while SF 2.0 does not directly answer any of the above, what it does provide is a knowing glimpse, a string of clues, a list of tells that can't be ignored- one whose symptoms reveal a city, a people suffering multiple wounds. A once beautiful animal that has been bested, hurt and led astray...
