San Francisco Possibly 1973 - 1994

"San Francisco" is a black and white photograph by Richard Gordon, taken sometime between 1973 and 1994. The image depicts a seemingly simple scene - a doorway leading into a forest, suggesting a transition or a portal between the indoors and outdoors. The photographic style is stark and minimalist, showcasing Gordon's signature use of light and shadow to create depth and mood. The black and white tones heighten the sense of mystery and invite the viewer to contemplate the relationship between nature and architecture, as well as the concept of passage and escape.
