San Francisco, Church Street 18 - 1983

"San Francisco, Church Street" (1983) by John Harding (1940-present) is a black and white photograph capturing the street scene in San Francisco. It shows a stark contrast between the two subjects, an elderly woman in a coat walking towards the viewer, and a shirtless black man in loose-fitting pants walking away. The image captures a slice of urban life with its candid portrayal of individuals in a public space. Harding's work often focused on social commentary through street photography, creating a visual record of everyday life in the city.
