This is the 2,500th posting I have done on this blog! I never imagined sustaining this effort this long. I thought I would give it a year and see if anyone stopped by to visit and if there were just a few…..well, it probably would have been the end of this experiment. Now, I think this blog has a life of its own and I am just along for the ride.
It has been a unique adventure for me as I normally am a private person. I guess the nature of the internet grants us both exposure and privacy at the same time.
I owe thanks to all of the followers, visitors and friends I have connected with along this journey. THANK YOU!!!
San Francisco, July 1970. The music venue Keystone Korner. Who remembers Boz Scaggs? How about Bennie Cecil and the Snakes? I think we may have to turn on the ‘Way Back Machine’.
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.
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?
The flag atop the Brooklyn Bridge. If you look closely you can see the year, 1875, between the cables on the stone column. The vanishing point is a little left of center but, what the heck, so am I.
I still have a bit of an inventory of Fall images to post. I hope they are visually interesting and don’t bore the visitors to the site to sleep or worse…..Due to timing and circumstances ( weather, etc.) I have not been able to pursue some photo ideas and field trips this Fall. Hopefully I will get the opportunity soon.
The barometer needle has bottomed out on the low side this morning. The wind is blowing the leaves off of the trees and the lights are flickering in our home. These images were taken at Lincoln Park recently.
