Just back from a quick SF trip ... 1st visit to the Pier 24 Photography exhibition -- very nice.
Pier 24 is right on the bay directly under the Bay Bridge. The gallery is in an old waterfront building that has been freshly remodeled. The individual rooms are very roomy and completely empty except for the photographs on the walls. It is a perfect venue for photographs to be displayed.
Tickets are free but require a reservation (available online) ... they are for two-hour blocks limited to 20 viewers at a time so you are never crowded nor hurried. It took the two us just over an hour to do the tour and we were often in a room by ourselves. There are wandering docents to answer questions.
The current exhibit - showing through 12/16/2011 - is eclectic in format and subject matter ... all related to San Francisco ... it includes everything from old large format landscapes to a series of digital shots taken of the computer monitor screen of different street-level scenes on Google maps.
