1970's San Francisco waterfront

 
 

From 1976 to 1984, I worked as a waiter in the Franciscan Restaurant on Pier 43 1/2 at Fisherman's Wharf. I always had my little Olympus camera with me. On my mid-day breaks between split-shifts, if I wasn't reading a book . . . I was walking along the wharf, writing in my journal, watching street performers, smelling the fresh-cooked dungeness crabs, and taking photos. Here are a few of the photos for this time period that I've recently begun curating. The photos are from the mid '70s to the mid '80s.

  
 

 

These photos were taken with the Olympus XA. My little work-horse camera at the time.
