I’m culling the heard of negatives (and positives) from a fifty-plus years career as a photojournalist and I came across some rare color positives I made as a student.
I was a senior at San Jose State and stayed that extra year to get a degree in photojournalism. I was also serving an internship at The Associated Press in San Francisco. It was a Friday to Monday morning gig. I had a cot set up in the darkroom so I did not have to go back and forth from San Jose to The City.
I came up to San Francisco a day early and was at Fisherman’s Wharf when I saw this moment. I shot this on Ektachrome 100 because I was taking a color photography class as an elective and we processed our own slide film (E-6).
This moment grabbed me because of the restaurant owner in his white apron and the white fire hydrant. I framed up and waited for THE moment between the guitar player and the facial expression of the mime in the middle of the group of mimes. I just love this image.
