This photo is one of three from a class assignment on street photography. The goal was to candidly capture stories through images - in other words, images that tell their own story. I used my DSLR camera to capture this photo in Oakland’s (CA) Chinatown. It represents the juxtaposition of old and new so as to encourage conversation about the ongoing role that systemic racism plays within progression, development, and gentrification, while taking into consideration the ever emerging dual pandemic (viral and racial).
