San Francisco, Market Street 23 - 1981

"San Francisco, Market Street" is a color photograph by John Harding, taken in 1981. It captures a candid moment on a busy San Francisco street, with three figures standing in front of a glass storefront. The woman in the foreground, wearing a fur coat, seems oblivious to the two figures in the background, suggesting the anonymity of city life. Harding's work is often characterized by its focus on everyday scenes and moments of human interaction, and this photograph is a prime example of his style. The use of natural light and warm tones creates a sense of authenticity and intimacy. The photograph, which is part of Harding's larger series on San Francisco, offers a glimpse into the city's urban landscape and its inhabitants during the 1980s.
