Above San Francisco: A New Collection of Nostalgic and Contemporary Aerial Photographs by Robert Cameron
Above San Francisco: A New Collection of Nostalgic and Contemporary Aerial Photographs by Robert Cameron is a 159-page hardcover first published in 1975 by Cameron and Company and this copy is the stated twelfth printing of 1984. The dust jacket shows some surface rubbing. Inside, there are fingerprints to the gold endpaper and flyleaf, but the rest of the book is clean and unmarked and the binding is tight. Book Summary Above San Francisco is an evocative aerial tour that makes an unprecedented contribution to the photographic record of this unique city. Photographed over a period of eight months, in many kinds of weather--everything from bright sunshine to heavy cloud cover--the Bay Area is seen in this book from one end to the other--wherever there was something of interest or beauty to put on film. The book is divided into six areas of coverage: San Francisco San Francisco Bay High Above San Francisco South Bay Alameda-Contra Costa Napa-Marin-Sonoma Added to these all-new aerials are some selected historical photographs, most notably those of pioneer photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Made in 1877, his pictures are matched here for the first time with color photographs of the same scenes 98 years later. ISBN: 0-918684-05-6
