HERE11 - The Sidewalk during Covid 19
The Covid-19 shutdown in San Francisco led me to experience a quite different sidewalk outside in Western Soma (the South of Market district). The longtime homeless were now largely gone. In the quiet of no one coming and going to work and the absence of my area's vibrant nightlife, new homeless folks wandering the sidewalks came to the forefront. Looking through my building's surveillance cameras, I beheld, extraordinary events. Some were emotionally difficult. This is an hour long video that hopefully brings a level of compassion for what was on the street during this period.

Burning Man 2018 Pigmalion Camp's Lightfoot Day Singers
Просмотров 5484 года назад
An unrehearsed chorus made up of members of the Pigmalion Camp (the Bacon and Bloody Mary folks) serenading unsuspecting Burners late on Monday Afternoon. To me, the serendipity and synchronicity of Burning Man emanates in this romp, not dependent on the flash and allure of the night time's pleasures.

A sampling of life just beyond my studio windows in late 2017 & early 2018. This is in the San Francisco district - the western South of Market - an area that has birthed and is the home to major tech startups, is home to millennials and homeless, the site of new construction and an neighborhood with an active night life.
HERE7 Dogpatch Ranch: the Orgins of a Chinese American Family
Просмотров 11 тыс.8 лет назад
This is the story of my Chinese great grandfather and grandmother and the 7 children they raised on a ranch in the late 1800's in Dogpatch, the Potrero, San Francisco. How and why did they raise their family on a ranch in outlying San Francisco instead of in Chinatown? This was a time of intense anti-Chinese sentiment? Some of the answers spin out in the lives of their children. And these answe...
HERE6 - Scapegoat The 1871-1906 San Francisco City Hall
Просмотров 18 тыс.9 лет назад
When completed in the 1890’s, city hall was San Francisco’s grandest building. City hall's collapse during the 1906 earthquake and fire storm was attributed to shoddy construction, rooted in political corruption. But an examination of the 1906 earthquake damage suggests otherwise.
HERE5 - Erased Landscape
Просмотров 26 тыс.9 лет назад
A 75 minute video that tells the story of how a massive erasure of landscape occured in early San Francisco, motivated by explosive population growth and fueled by an influx of minng and industrical wealth. Without second thought, San Francisco transformed sand dunes, hollows, creeks, marshes and bay waters into the flat lands now known as Market Street, South of Market, the Mission District, S...

Here3 - San Francisco Houses of Architect Bernard Maybeck
Просмотров 12 тыс.9 лет назад
Architect Bernard Maybeck built five San Francisco houses in San Francisco in a 7 year period between 1909 to 1916. He crafted a different image of home for each of these projects. Each are among the first homes built in their neighborhoods. When seen up close, each has its own style, detailing, and overall form. None seek to simply harmonize with their neighbors.
HERE2 - A History of Golden Gate Park
Просмотров 32 тыс.9 лет назад
Golden Gate Park is more than a history of hard and inventive work to plant trees in a treeless, windswept environment. It is more than a history of the struggles of those who sought a bucolic park against those who had sought to locate massive building projects in a large convenient location. The construction of Golden Gate Park creates a myth of what San Francisco might be have been had the c...

Просмотров 12 тыс.9 лет назад
The opposition of two new museums in Golden Gate Park. By 2000 local, national, and world wide architectural commentators were taking note of San Francisco because it was in the midst of building important buildings designed by world class architects from outside the Bay Area. By 2008, two of these buildings were completed - the de Young Museum and the California Academy of Science, located opp...
No mention of the Chinese garden built for the fair. Sutro owner the Clif house before 1887.
Your form of pleasure is the best. Glad you ended Coney Island too. So many fun rides, and only a few million people back then Progress is all work and retreat, no play, perfect! Need those vacations from your perfect life
I'm sure this was done, but probably 5 or 600 years ago.Hence, our own history is a lie.We are all dumb a**** and we think we're so smart.Once we finally start getting it.Maybe we can learn to grow
The gold rush was just a cover story to Reply populate a desserted city , we inherited all of it
We didn't do any of this landscaping.There are no pictures to prove any of us and even if there were pictures we all know that's been photoshopped over the years.Trust me , we inherited all of this in the gold rushless and excuse for a jump , start on the new civilization , about eighteen fifty
Excellent presentation. Thank you for having researched, compiles, and produced it.
Amazing work!
we are sending this documentary to 30 friends
due to discrimination, Chinese engineers were not hired. I know my friend did not find an engineering job, he opened a Chinese restaurant ... near Santa Cruz
wow one hour long, one of these days it can be a KQED documentary
im starting think there is somethinig to this tartaria stuff, i was married at the current city hall and looked up its history and found that there were these huge rather alien looking buildings there before 1906, very strange.
Wow, wow. This was great. So glad that you come from a family of shutterbugs. The pictures were phenomenal. The story as well.
Thanks and for the comment about a family of shutterbugs !
Thank you!
Very moving. Fascinating!
Amazing video. Just wanted to commend you for a new take on exploring and showcasing SF during and after the pandemic
Thank you
"on the other end is peace...." That exemplifies addiction and the roots in trauma and the need to feel the temporary "right " feelings and sensations, what would have been held against one or denied. The eating of dirt/brushing teeth, to the temporary moving couch and off with a some ingenuity and chutzpah...
Ah thank you, very apt comments...
Fascinating to get an idea of what San Francisco's geography and topography looked like at the time of my great-grandfather's birth there in 1857.
Yup San Francisco has been totally changed topographically !
No Tartarian Buildings to see here. Just move along. 🤦🏻♂️
Excellent production. There are still a few places where a person can get a sense of San Francisco Geology: Glen Park, Lobos Creek in the Presidio, Lake Merced. We oftentimes think mankind's impact on the environment is negative, but here, (or here) Civilization created a welcoming environment to an inhospitable zone of sand dunes and swamps. The impact of earthquakes on that landscape changed and created that environment.

Golden Gate Park is 20% larger than Central Park in New York City
What an amazing family and story
yes thanks
I love your videos, very well done. I just found hundreds of large negatives in a box of my great grandfather's of San Francisco and the surrounding area. From 1890's-1910. Including a lot of the days of the 1906 earthquake and fire. I am not familiar with the landmarks, i sure could use someone like you to see what is on them.
Check with the following as they might be interested in the material.... www.outsidelands.org and www.shapingsf.org
An amazing documentary
Thank you !
Recently picked up a redwood bench off of Craigslist and was told that it was pulled from a Maybeck house in the East Bay, I think Berkeley? Not the kind of bench that has legs, but a built-in...
This video was great and had good information and timelines
Thank You
Well done - thank you for sharing the history of GGP.
Thank You
Eyes closed, I’m transported back there 😍
Yes it was a great year. Thanks !
100/100
Thanks
The academy and the park was always the best days as a SF kid. It was always an adventure. Gators, sharks, cobras, piranha, octopus, anaconda skeletons, fossils dinosaurs and a planetarium!
Yup that was my experience also from the late 1940's through the mid 1950's. In hindsight, the de Young then was an amazing and strange museum!
The SECRET San Francisco... ⛏️🗝️💎🤫... Soon....
Thank you for a great video.
Thank you too!
I just discovered this while finishing up some of the other "here" videos. excellent view through the camera lens of a world also just outside my door as well only a few blocks away . when i truly think about it so many have come and gone that were the original homeless of SF. the ones like you said that were in some form protection from those who mean to do harm. thanks for taking the time to share i will most certainly pass this along to those who see this from only one side
Thank you
Wonderful presentation make sure to check out his other “ here” videos great series
Thank you kindly
I visited S.F. in May 1989. I could of had a much better time but I brought this idiot coke whore with me for 5 days. I found the vibe of the people very cold and souless. I couldn't wait to get back to St. Augustine Florida which is or was a much hipper and nonpretentious place. Funny, I was in Grand Cayman watching the ball game on TV when the earthquake erupted. Will the " big one " destroy San Francisco again?
Loving your story been glued to this amazing story along with the fantastic pics I was raised in Piedmont, my pops dad was poor Irish according to my mom who immigrated here in 52’ from Finland married my dad from Alameda My grandfather the poor Irishman married Florence Crowley dad born in 26’ did well raised us Piedmont where I meet my best friend Blake Wong. You mentioned both Crowley and I thought Moi? Think that’s Blake’s mom’s family. Anyway I was Blake’s best man, always thought Blake was a stud smart good looking natural leader etc though not the best athlete can’t have it all I guess I understand Crowleys ran a tug boat gig and can’t find but told Florence’s dad Patrick Crowley was SF Chief of Police 3 times which may not bold well for my ancestors treatment of the Chinese Americans if true that whether he ever was chief I was in a large sense raised by the Wong family ate dinner there every night, can’t explain how Lonnie and Phil made me feel so welcome etc words st least for me can’t explain the peace happiness I couldn’t find at home. I practically lived therein high school then later in my 20’s anyway remember seeing the Wanderers “Don’t fuck with the Wongs” line in the movie if you don’t know. Anywho thank you Sir Ps. No surprise of your family success as far as I’m concerned cuz if your not an idiot it obviously clear how successful Chinese Asian Americans have been are will continue to be since I’ve been in school Chinese Americans have always tested the highest in tests and shit of the such I never did college served Army honorably and shit. I don’t mean to offend anyone with my latest note re-intelligence/smarts I believe that stat is a fact but to those I might piss off suck my ass Blake married a nice Jewish lady personally I thought he should land him a fine ass sophisticated like Hong Kong cuz Blake had fucking class brah and goodbye get a little carried away after taking a rip of my homegrown Chem Dog 91 last October harvest from the high desert. Hit me up blood you a homie from da Oak Oakland smoking anyway I’ll send ya some nugs. All right den
Thanks
I came here from a comment you left on another historic channel, and I have to say that you give so much more depth to the history of San Francisco..... I'm from Michigan ...... the opposite end of the US but you have made San Francisco's history fascinating to me❤
Thank you
Perfect blend of entertaining documentation and historical fact letting. Like a great TV comedy without a laugh track. n.
Tartarians built SF
No, they did not. Notice the absolute absence of any 'ancient structures' on any of the very complete pre 1915 surveys and images. Do you actually believe military surveys would omit the presence of your mythical 'ancient city'? It simply did not exist.
Would it be possible to do another episode like here 5 but on the east bay. There's a lot of interesting stuff that happened here One of the more interesting things are the huge shell mounds that ones stood here or what's left of them
around the time I was working on HERE5 I was thinking about exactly the topic you mentioned. But I realized it was a super major undertaking and beyond the scope of what I could do at the time. I am sort of interested in the shell mounds as a Bay Area wide system of alerts, signaling and surveillance. And as you know, they went out of use around the late 1500 CE so the bottom of the Emeryville Mound is larger many feet below sea level. As you may know, there are several "intact" shell mounds on Mt San Bruno. You can find out about them and visit them via the State Park and via the San Bruno Mountain Watch group (www.mountainwatch.org/archives) There are other mound/signaling systems in the pre-European period, and the system related to Chaco Canyon and its regions is rather interesting.
@@lymarchvideo yeah I could understand, and thank you ill check them out sooner or later
all your videos are sooooo great! thank you!
Glad you like them!
This is amazingly well done. Very informative!!
Thanks
I simply love your videos.
Thank you.
Rincoin hill is still a neighborhood for the wealthy
Yes starting in the 1990's it began to gentrify. Prior to that it was quite seedy.
This is awsome. I love San Francisco and the time I spent as a tour guide. I have read many books about San Francisco, and Your video has brought to life the building of this beautiful city. Thanks so much for all the work you put in to this.
A remarkable story. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Yes interesting to me how the elders in my family never pointed out how unusual this story was.
Amazing video
Thanks!
Where are the people in the old full city photo @18:41? It is always alarming to see this and many other photos of late 19th century cities void of occupants. Does anyone have an answer to this?
