i just stumbled across http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/sets/72157603671370361/show/ — apparently the library of congress has a modest photostream, and they’ve done the best job i’ve ever seen of coloring in black and whites of the forties. some pretty amazing shots in there…

All old images show SF devoid of trees and I seem to recall that they started planting trees systematically only in the eighties or so… go http://www.fuf.net/ !

Based on the angle of the shadows, it looks like the 1945 photo was taken in the early morning, while your photo was taken in the afternoon.

If you feel inspired to work on this more, it would be cool if you were to take a picture in the morning to get similar shadows and also to avoid losing detail in the upper left. Of course to get the angles exactly right you would have to take the picture in July which is when the original photo was taken — and sunny mornings in July are scarce in SF.

You are so artsy and deep…. Life in San Fran seems so elegant. WHen are you going to come back to your roots in the midwest? We’re waiting for you at the Italian village!
