Pastels on Tremont

Pastels on Tremont

These colors have a sort of 50s look to them. But since everyone I saw going in and out of the building was Chinese, maybe they have some other significance. On Tremont Street in the South End.

Girls on the Bridge

Girls on the Bridge

Taken in November 1978.
Walking across the Golden Gate Bridge I came upon these girls stretching their legs before (or after) a run there. They weren't the only runners that day, and I wasn't the only stroller. No "jumpers," though.

Late one afternoon in the spring of 1968 I was listening to the radio (KFRC in San Francisco) when I noticed that the dj whose shift ended at 4:00 was still on the air around 4:30. Eventually the 4:00 guy showed up -- and explained why he was late. He was driving across the bridge into the City when he saw a guy about to jump. He pulled over and ran back to try to stop him. (Some others may have joined in.) It worked. If it hadn't, he'd never have been able to go on the air as soon as he did. In any case, he still seemed a bit rattled.

Looking back from the end of the Public Pier at Aquatic Park. In the background is San Francisco Bay (with a receding fog bank on top of it) and Mount Tam (see note).
