A panorama of a plaza near the Ferry Building and Embarcadero Center. Composed of 3 separate shots, printed, then taped together... the time-discolored photos show people (mostly tourists) milling around the plaza, looking at arts and crafts. Some have bell bottoms, long pointed collars, suits and ties, and big hair. In the background, you can see a bit of the elevated Embarcadero Freeway (now torn down) and the concrete Vaillancourt Fountain (still standing).

David - here you go: Justin Herman Plaza, sometime in the early 1970s.
Long before Photoshop, there was my father and scotch tape. This is from his scrapbook, taken on a trip Dad took with my mother one summer when they headed up the coast from San Diego to San Francisco.
Dad always had his Minolta and his flask by his side.
