Ahhhhh the perfect 60 second slot to appreciate like 2 transformations really quickly
Heck yeah
How was he able to track down the photographer from that picture. That portion made no sense. They should go into further detail about that.
Wow great photos.
The past tense of “to moonlight” is “moonlighted,” genius.
What a wonderful story.
Wait… you mean SF hasnt always been full of homeless and needles?
This is why street-photography is so important.
😮
People in sf say they’re happy, but they’re so closed off from the community. It’s all networking and nepotism. It’s bittersweet to see those smiling faces.
😮I’m sorry, did I hear $4000.00 a month? No, No thank you. Haha, No. Uh na.
Shoulda taken before and after of homeless encampments. Liberal policies at work 👏
Photos from a much better epoch.
Cool story
im sure i can google it but does anyone have a old photo page they prefer?
Clips of movies and wanting that to be life is crazy because money and so many other things are factors that maybe unavoidable
Back when people were honest decent people in San Francisco, CA
I wish I had a passion. I feel like a drain on society. I wish I could make a difference.
“Remember bathing caps?”
competitive swimmers: yes
Import the third world become the third world
Well, San Francisco has really re-invented it self now haven't they…
Now every photo you see is either homeless people or luggage and car jackers
Awesome
It’s unfortunate what it would show today
A time where men were men and women were women, people feared God, and children weren't indoctrinated into a political ideology. Now San Francisco is a liberal hellscape.
Now San Francisco is just a dead rotting city 😔😭
San Francisco before the poo on the streets.
they lying to us wake up people
Cool story. Sad how SF has fallen. Most beautiful big city in the USA. First visited there in the 90s. Can’t believe how corruption destroyed this marvelous place.
So they just threw all of his work to the trash? 😢
Beautiful images !!
How did his photos end up on the street corner? Did no one look at it before throwing it away??
Wowwww!! I always love old pics
Interesting, so what has turned this area into what it is today? Hmmmmm
Time travelling 🥰🤗🛸
Enjoy the time reliving it with your dad. She threw all of his stuff out. That was precious to you. Am I the only one who's getting that?
The wife threw out the slides, then acts like they’re the greatest treasure when the news shows up with them
No turds in the streets either
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
That was nice.
Why you trying to "hunt" the photographer? To threaten em to scrub this? Cali dump
