In creating this double portrait I wanted to craft an image that is uniquely San Franciscan, and conveys the distinct timelessness of certain aspects of the city. Save for the prices on the menu, technological indicators of when this scene takes place are relatively limited, and indeed despite the seismic changes San Francisco has undergone in recent decades a casual and joyous scene like this can appear as credibly in the Mission today as it could forty years ago. This element of timelessness and joy amongst residents is a part of San Francisco that I want to continually amplify and celebrate in my work.
