THE MODERN MISSION

Mission Street in San Francisco between 18th and 25th is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods of the city. A holdout against gentrification, it is a contrast of a traditional Hispanic business street and modern San Francisco life.

However, the modern architecture is mostly overlooked. Signs, details, and whole buildings that exemplify the mid-century era are strewn about - in varying stages of decay and misuse. And who could ignore the coolest dentist office ever. I thought about this for many years, and one Sunday morning I decided to do a small photo essay. I hope you enjoy it.
