If you take the stairs or the elevator up to the next floor after the rotunda, the light comes in perfectly diffused, the patterned windows are old-fashioned looking, and there’s lovely light pouring in, which the marble bounces around perfectly. It’s like a gorgeous little studio up there. Most of the building doesn’t have a lot of lighting – the rotunda can be pretty dark, actually. But if you go up the funky antique stairs or the antique elevator, you come into this glowing space. There are polished marble floors, there are archways connecting the catwalks, the lighting is perfect for everybody’s skin — and, of course, the San Francisco fog adds additional diffusing. It’s just soft and kind of heavenly. It’s hard to get a bad shot there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809114\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809114\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed.jpg\" alt=\"Kacper and Jenna. \" width=\"1100\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kacper and Jenna.

The light on that side – that’s the north facing window – it’s all white marble and the light just comes in. Everybody looks good in that light. It’s so creamy and soft. That side has everything: The windows themselves are really beautiful, it’s got all this ironwork around it, it’s got the stone urns as decoration. The dome — the big iconic part of that building – when you’re down on the floor, it’s hard to get that dome in the shot. But when you’re up there, it’s easy. It’s right behind you. And even though that fourth floor ceremony area is very intimate, you’re overlooking this very gigantic beautiful rotunda area. Everyone looks over the edge and says, “Oh my God, it’s huge here.” Everything’s bigger than it looks. It has such a grand feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809116\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou.jpg\" alt=\"Henry and Mary. \" width=\"1100\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry and Mary.

It feels more dramatic and more dynamic than just standing and posing for a portrait. It’s also reflective of most people’s City Hall moment together: either the anticipation beforehand, going up, or the excitement afterward, walking down. Not only do the stairs lend to showing off their day, they’re also central to showing off the building itself. You can see the ceiling, the columns, the dome, all from the stairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809117\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809117\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500.jpg\" alt=\"Ariel and Christoph. \" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500.jpg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ariel and Christoph.

If you photograph people in the middle of a workday there, there are always a ton of tourists, workers and people getting married. But if you go up to the fourth floor, and manage to get a time when no one’s walking by, it will feel like a really quiet spot, which is kind of a contradiction in San Francisco. It’s not about just the couple; it’s about the bigger picture. And the building is incredibly beautiful and geometrically sound.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If you take the stairs or the elevator up to the next floor after the rotunda, the light comes in perfectly diffused, the patterned windows are old-fashioned looking, and there’s lovely light pouring in, which the marble bounces around perfectly. It’s like a gorgeous little studio up there. Most of the building doesn’t have a lot of lighting – the rotunda can be pretty dark, actually. But if you go up the funky antique stairs or the antique elevator, you come into this glowing space. There are polished marble floors, there are archways connecting the catwalks, the lighting is perfect for everybody’s skin — and, of course, the San Francisco fog adds additional diffusing. It’s just soft and kind of heavenly. It’s hard to get a bad shot there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809114\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809114\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed.jpg\" alt=\"Kacper and Jenna. \" width=\"1100\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/MichelleFEmbed-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kacper and Jenna.

The light on that side – that’s the north facing window – it’s all white marble and the light just comes in. Everybody looks good in that light. It’s so creamy and soft. That side has everything: The windows themselves are really beautiful, it’s got all this ironwork around it, it’s got the stone urns as decoration. The dome — the big iconic part of that building – when you’re down on the floor, it’s hard to get that dome in the shot. But when you’re up there, it’s easy. It’s right behind you. And even though that fourth floor ceremony area is very intimate, you’re overlooking this very gigantic beautiful rotunda area. Everyone looks over the edge and says, “Oh my God, it’s huge here.” Everything’s bigger than it looks. It has such a grand feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809116\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou.jpg\" alt=\"Henry and Mary. \" width=\"1100\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/LilyWildAboutYou-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry and Mary.

It feels more dramatic and more dynamic than just standing and posing for a portrait. It’s also reflective of most people’s City Hall moment together: either the anticipation beforehand, going up, or the excitement afterward, walking down. Not only do the stairs lend to showing off their day, they’re also central to showing off the building itself. You can see the ceiling, the columns, the dome, all from the stairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10809117\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10809117\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500.jpg\" alt=\"Ariel and Christoph. \" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500.jpg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/06/Ariel-Christoph-City-Hall-194pp_w750_h500-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ariel and Christoph.

It’s not about just the couple; it’s about the bigger picture. And the building is incredibly beautiful and geometrically sound.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

CCC Executive Director Mabel Teng cited the historical importance of Portsmouth Square Plaza. The highly active gathering place for both old and young (one group seeks out card games, the other playground equipment) was the first public square in the early 19th-century Mexican community of Yerba Buena, predating even the name of “San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chen, too, frowned at misconceptions about the neighborhood. There is a belief, she pointed out, that “this community doesn’t deserve the best quality art. This community doesn’t need contemporary art, nor does it have any.” She believes this project can bridge — literally — the immediate needs of the neighborhood and the desire for daring public art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Spiritually, idealistically, we are leading a new form of art production that is inclusive, but at the same time has its heart in the community,” Chen concluded.\u003c/p>\n\n",

CCC Executive Director Mabel Teng cited the historical importance of Portsmouth Square Plaza.

There is a belief, she pointed out, that “this community doesn’t deserve the best quality art.

The South Bay is now devoid of indoor skating rinks so in the typical Silicon Valley problem-solving style, three residents — Justin Triano, Amy Hewett and Liz Ruiz (both former \u003ca href=\"http://svrollergirls.com/\">SV Roller Derby Girls\u003c/a>) — got together to make one big roving roller rink that travels through our downtown. Accompanied by a mobile disco sound unit and laser light show, the event moves throughout the evening to open plazas that are begging for people to use them. The organizers plan for the event to continue monthly. Skate rentals are available prior to the event and the start point location varies (announced 24 hours beforehand).\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10703412\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/Sparks_Mollica.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10703412\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/Sparks_Mollica.jpg\" alt='Peter Mollica, \"Fence,\" stained glass, 2013.

The South Bay is now devoid of indoor skating rinks so in the typical Silicon Valley problem-solving style, three residents — Justin Triano, Amy Hewett and Liz Ruiz (both former \u003ca href=\"http://svrollergirls.com/\">SV Roller Derby Girls\u003c/a>) — got together to make one big roving roller rink that travels through our downtown. Accompanied by a mobile disco sound unit and laser light show, the event moves throughout the evening to open plazas that are begging for people to use them. The organizers plan for the event to continue monthly. Skate rentals are available prior to the event and the start point location varies (announced 24 hours beforehand).\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10703412\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/Sparks_Mollica.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10703412\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/Sparks_Mollica.jpg\" alt='Peter Mollica, \"Fence,\" stained glass, 2013.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
