View of Bernal Heights and 101/280 interchange, San Francisco, CA , 2020
8 x 10 in (h x w)
Daguerréotype

This contemporary daguerreotype view, taken on 7/29/20 at 4 PM, depicts the state of quarantine, an empty freeway interchange, and houses with families sheltering-in-place. This view harkens back to the San Francisco Gold Rush days of the 1850s, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, or the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake–it all summoned catastrophe and the shaping of the Bay Area.
