This posting is a total departure from what I would normally do. In 1971 I travelled to San Francisco to visit with a friend who lived in East Oakland, across the bay. I would spend my days walking around San Francisco with my 35mm Agfa camera. These images are scanned from a small print that has spent 43 years in a photo album. You can get a sense of the year by the type of cars and dress that you see. The man with the hat is part of a bygone era.

No Clever Title
Try as I might, I can’t think of a witty title for this photo. Probably just as well. I wonder if the woman on her cell, in the background, is calling in an upright bass on the run?

Hanging out on Christmas Afternoon
Spotted these two girls on a rooftop ( near Alberta Street, Portland, OR.) playing with a blond-haired doll. The dialogue went something like this:
Me: “May I take your photo”?
Younger girl: “Do you have flash on that camera”?
Me: ” Yes, I do, but it is too sunny out to need it”.
Younger girl: “Don’t tell my mom we’re up here”.
Me: “I won’t tell. Be careful”!
‘Good-bye’ to the Humans of Alberta St.
Possibly the last of the images from June’s version of Last Thursday, the monthly street fair on Alberta St. in NE Portland, OR.
Humans of Alberta St. #4
Tattoo, stilts, ukulele and washboard. Two people/one theme-red.
Humans of Alberta St. #2
Head apparel seems to be the theme today. Straw Hat, butterfly hat and the ever present balloon hat. This once a month street fair on Alberta St. runs from May till Oct. every year and stretches about a 18 blocks along the street.
Coney Island- Off Season
Coney Island, after the summer passes, can be a very cold and lonely place. My kind of place.

A Sunny Morning in the Lower East Side
Modernity, with people. I don’t recall the purpose of this building, but I’m not sure I care for the look. Maybe it does serve a function, other than looking like it is going to tip over?
