KFOG Kaboom – redux

1898 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Happy 4th of July! Here’s one more shot from the KFOG Kaboom fireworks display from a couple of months ago. It’s pretty tough shooting fireworks in San Francisco. You’re in the middle of a major city so it never really gets that dark. It’s usually at least a *little* foggy (if you’re lucky) which just reflects even more light. Because…

Queen Mary 2 headed towards port

1898 1920 Liberty Thermionics

That ferry in the foreground is normally one of the largest ships in the bay (aside from the freighters that come and go all day long). The Queen Mary 2 makes it look like a toy.

Looking North from the Golden Gate Bridge

1912 1920 Liberty Thermionics

All the way from London

1920 1917 Liberty Thermionics

Pictured here – the “Santa Cruz,” approaching a final destination of San Francisco by way (at some point) of London. (it’s probably hard to see that here, but it’s written on the back of the ship!) The freighter entered the Golden Gate just as I ran out of film. I quickly reloaded, all the while cursing film. 12 pictures at…
