Precisely my point! 😵‍💫

What I like about it is the rainy night-time shot, the high contrast, and so many good looking cars so close together. Today that would be boring cars that all look alike. 🙄

I see what you mean! They just don't make 'em like that anymore....☹️

This is such an obscure photo. My dad is in the back seat of the convertible, ostensibly shooting a parade on Market Street. Despite the slow shutter speed and fuzzy print, you can make out the 4x5 camera in his left hand. No info on what parade it was or the year, but he's in his early 20s in...

Good eye, Fujicaman. You solved the date on one of these mystery photos. Thanks for your input! (Post #175, on page 7.)

Thanks, Fujicaman. I will look for that article online as I would read about that! What an interesting story that would be. 👍

Thank you for the nice comment on this thread. It was a great time to grow up in The City, yes! Ironically, my aunt and uncle lived in Campbell then, so we would go down the Peninsula to visit them from time to time. And speaking of Playland, that was a huge part of us kids growing up in S.F...

That's a really good possibility. I'll keep it in mind for sure!

The Tom & Jerry above refers to post # 278 on the previous page. All very funny. 😹

That could very well be but I'm having a tough time figuring it out for sure. Google Earth isn't much help because I can't get at the same angle and I'm sure many new high rises are adding to the confusion. I will have to search for the newspaper clipping but that will be a few weeks from now...

Spoken by a true photographer. And my dad was skilled and up to the task! 🤩

What I find notable in the picture is how few cars are on the freeway!

Uelsmann was pretty creative. The Floating Tree is one I remember best and Flamingos in Yosemite is quite funny. 😁

This might not be of interest to many outside of San Francisco but what's neat about it is the way the panorama was created, sometime in the '60s. My dad took eight or so pictures and the art director at the Examiner (Dan De La Torre) spliced them together with an X-acto knife at the precision...

That would be the VA Medical Center.
