The Big Man's Chair - a photo on Flickriver

            From a March, 2007 trip to the abandoned Bethlehem Shipyard offices, a four-story 1917 Beaux Arts office building in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood. Access was difficult, climbing tall fences and crawling in through a basement window, but the building was a spectacular ruin inside. Ensuing years saw it fall into extreme decline, until it was meticulously renovated in 2020. It's now an upscale furniture store and restaurant.

The third flood northeast corner office, the nicest office in the building.  It overlooks the yard and cranes . . . and downtown San Francisco.  This was a magnate's office. 

Night, full moon, sodium vapor light, red-gelled flashlight.  Composite of 2 exposures.  A festival of mixed lighting.

Reprocessed and replaced, September 2023.

Taken on: March 30, 2007
