As San Francisco shelters in place, photographers have a unique opportunity to capture unusual scenes during one of the most unsettling and strange events in recent memory. As the photographer for the Paper Tiger, I have been going for walks around the city with my camera in hand, trying to capture moments that tell a story about what life is like right now.
These explorations serve a dual purpose for me, allowing me to document and share images of city life during a pandemic while also providing an opportunity for me to get out of the house and off a screen. Of course, I’m always careful to keep my distance from people around me, and I wear a mask while I work.
This page is regularly updated with new images; photos appear in reverse chronological order, with the most recent at the top.
