"San Francisco has an ironic charm. Its images are familiar: fog, cable cars, narrow hill-side streets, and that gem in the city's crown, the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco is somewhat of an American museum piece - not an industrial center, but instead a preserved landscape, physically dating from the early part of this century but spiritually centered around in the 60s, when the hippie revolution rocked the coast. This photogenic landscape does not need to be airbrushed for postcards - it has an aesthetic all its own, an image of 'the old days' that has captured the American imagination."
