Cool! My grandmother was a librarian so I have a special affinity for libraries. Thanks for sharing this Thomas.
His next project should be a series on accordions... sheesh!
Not to mention the use of the word "cumbersome" ...

I do like those images though.
Hey Karl, that is a classic demolition site. I frequently pass it while driving up Franklin street to the Marina Green, in fact I drove by yesterday and was impressed as always with the site of so many square partitions, formerly rooms, shown in cross section in the process of being demolished. I never stopped to take a picture but I will the next time. Arriving in SF in late 1984, I always knew it as the Cathedral Hill Hotel. One of my first watering holes was Tommy's Joint next door on Van Ness and Route 101 a little further up Van Ness on the other side. For those not familiar with the Jack Tar (Cathedral Hill), here's an article on it that was published late last year: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/articl...#photo-5481854

"says Dawson, who still shoots Adams-style with a cumbersome accordion view camera on a tripod."

You guys haven't been keeping up.
