Having moved at nineteen to San Francisco in 1975, moving day into the apartment I was to share with Bill Jacobson, my 35mm camera was lifted out of the car. I was resigned to doing my first few quarters of work in photography at the San Francisco Art Institute with a Kodak Instamatic.
I went about my new city asking people at tourist spots to snap my picture. In response to other student's rapid discussions of f-stops and grey-scale, of which I knew nothing, I had the film developed down Chestnut at Broadway camera store, and printed to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"--perfect for little snapshot booklets that I would hand out to the photo discussion cliques.
