San Francisco! "The most attractive, most
civilized, most desirable city in the country,"
Holiday magazine rhapsodized more than a
quarter of a century ago. "Nobody else's town is
quite so beautful or cosmopolitan or delightfully
giddy."
We San Franciscans are accustomed to
being slathered with such praise, but it is good
to have it confirmed in the lyric photographs by
Robert Cameron that follow. The blessings of
nature not only define where we live but how we
live, which is in an enclave unlike any other. It is
a peninsula seven miles square bursting with
hills and sweeping vistas. We like to say our little
world is bounded on three sides by water and
on the fourth by reality.
