A Diversion

I thought I'd take a quick moment away from writing papers on colonial American history to share some gorgeous California-centric photography with y'all. Great stuff, and the perfect thing to remind me why I'm in grad school as I attempt to write about what happened on the other side of the continent in the seventeenth-century.

Also, here's a find from the SF Public Library's Historic Photographs Collection:

Nick and Nora enjoying the view from their swinging, deco pad atop Telegraph hill in the second Thin Man film. For those unfamiliar, this should explain anything you need to know.

Lastly, a little San Francisco ditty I haven't been able to get out of my mind lately.
