Space is at a premium on the streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Its neighborhood markets are chaotic places. I photographed these shoppers as they pushed their way into a shop. Behind them is a local delivery truck, its sides covered with garishly painted words. These indecipherable words symbolize the spontaneous nature of local commerce here and their colors are echoed in the maroon colored clothing of the woman who pushes a stroller before her. Additional context comes from the hand gesture of the other woman – she seems to be symbolically protecting herself from the turbulence of the streets of Chinatown.
