I don't know anything much about the East Bay city of Richmond, California, but nonetheless found myself there on a recent morning of extreme brightness – in circumstances that permitted wandering one downtown neighborhood for a couple of hours looking at things. Much of this area seemed to have been recently "renewed" in a naked suburban style and I could not imagine any way to photograph any of that. But I kept looking and looking until I found things that did seem imaginable as photographs. These are some of those.
