San Francisco 1906 and 2020, A city that will forever reinvest itself 2

I've uploaded two '1906 Then' photos that my great grandfather took after the devastation of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, and two '2020 Now' photographs that I created in the same locations in San Francisco, only 115 years later when the city was impacted by the shelter in place lockdown. There are more then & now sets in the series that I can share (see blog) and also more San Francisco family history that I uncovered and created a presentation about throughout the sheltering in place year that was 2020. I presented my creative process, photo series and family story to a women's historical society in April of 2021 to mark the 1 year passing of the sheltering in place mandate that inspired my photo series.
