San Francisco 2020 in 7 images

This series features 7 images in which San Francisco street art has been merged with street scenes by overlaying a previously taken photograph onto a new scene in-camera. Each image tells multiple stories: that of the street artist, that of the street scene, and by combining the two, mine. Together they depict what stood out for me that year in a unique way.
