A View from a Grotty Hotel Window, 1998

A View from a Grotty Hotel Window, 1998

This is the Flood Building in San Francisco. Built during the Gold Rush, it famously survived the 1906 earthquake to become a symbol of the city's resilience.

When I took this, I was struck by the contrast between that historic stone façade and the saturated Pulp Fiction style mural next door. This is very 90s.

Date Taken
Summer of '98

Camera
OM10 (Now Sold) (35mm film)

Fujifim 100 (scanned from damaged negative)
