Joseph J. Johnston

Joseph Johnston’s photo essay about unhoused people, “On the Streets of San Francisco” [February, 2023], struck a chord with readers. We heard from one man who lives in Joseph’s neighborhood and recognized people in the photos. Another reader told us how the images helped her take a hard look at her unease around unhoused people. We share letters to the editor with contributors, who tell us that Sun readers reliably offer thoughtful responses to their work.

I have lived in San Francisco since 1961 when my Dad moved us for his new employment from Stockton, CA. It was great growing up in the City back then. We lived in Eureka Valley and when I became an adult I moved over the hill to Noe Valley. In 1982 we looked to buy property and settled in the Mission. We bought a pair of flats with friends & we both raised our families here. Our adult children have moved on. We remain and continue to watch the neighborhood change.

A medida que más personas se acostumbran a los esquemas de colores oscuros en sus dispositivos, los días en que el blanco brillante irradiaba desde todos los monitores se están convirtiendo poco a poco en historia. Los modos de color oscuro cambian los colores principales del sistema operativo y de las aplicaciones de blanco a grises oscuros.
