Chris Stevens-Yu: Perseverance

Chris says: The Pandemic really ignited a passion in me for street photography. Wanting to document these times, I frequently went into San Francisco and would walk the City. This image was made along the Embarcadero Center’s walkway where I spotted an amazing “pocket of light” and placed my camera on the ground to wait for something to happen. This person came along and the posture along with the mask screamed “perseverance!” to me, which is what 2020 was all about.
