Earthquake

Posted by rguzmanphoto · 17d ago · 88 views

Back in Oct 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area. I was covering collapsed section of Cypress I-880 freeway in Oakland the day after. A close look you can see the head line Game 3 World Series Postponed. I believe I shot this with Nikon F3 and the Nikon ED 180mm F2.8 2nd F3 had a wide. My film of choice back then was T-Max developed with T-Max developer.

Thanks Ken, living and going to school in S.F. Bay area in the mid 80's early 90's was an experience to be remembered with the daily protest rallies on Nukes and the Gulf war there wasn't a day that didn't need documenting.
