Over the past few months, I’ve volunteered as a photographer at the monthly Sunday Streets events throughout San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods and districts.

The entire experience has been fun and it’s been a great way for me to expand on my photography skills and techniques. The Sunday Streets events are organized by the Liveable City Organization and there about a dozen or so of the Sunday Streets events throughout the summer months.

Each of the events gives residents and visitors a chance to walk the streets without any cars at all, but they can also dance, do yoga, bike, play Jenga, just about any physical activity you can think of.

The idea for Sunday Streets came from Bogotá, Colombia:

Sunday Streets originated in Bogotá, Colombia as “Ciclovía,” a day of free, healthy activities that promote community in public streets. Thirty years later, the concept has spread around the world from Tokyo, Japan to Kiev, Ukraine. And it has now been in San Francisco since 2008! (read more)

Below are pictures I have taken from several Sunday Streets events. =)
