25 Years In Black & White: Negatives from the Fang Family San Francisco Examiner Photograph Archive, 1935-1960

Description:

This exhibition celebrates the San FranciscoExaminer newspaper photographers whose work appeared daily and often anonymously. With black and white sheet film and heavy, bulky cameras—stamina, steady hands, the ability to anticipate the action, and a dead-eye were the photojournalist’s minimum job requirements—they documented places and events to create an unparalleled visual history of San Francisco and the Bay Area in the twentieth century.
