About this title: How exactly has San Francisco's urban landscape changed in the hundred years since the earthquake and cataclysmic firestorms that destroyed three-quarters of the city in 1906? For this provocative rephotography project, bringing past and present into dynamic juxtaposition, renowned photographer Mark Klett has gone to the same locations pictured in forty-five compelling historic photographs taken in the days following the 1906 earthquake and fires and precisely duplicated each photograph's vantage point.

"This was a fascinating and amazing exhibition. Brilliant idea: The photographer took photos that had been taken immediately after the 1906 San Francisco great earthquake and fire, figured out precisely where they had been taken (no easy task given how much change there's been in 100 years) and then took photographs from the exact same vantage point 100 years later in 2006. (I have to say one of my favorite parts of the museum exhibit isn't in the book. There was a computer program that enabled the visitor to superimpose the 2006 photo over its 1906 counterpart up to 100%. Really amazing, especially since I live in San Francisco and know many of the locations.) But the photos in this book stand on their own. Helpful maps of photograph locations are given. And there's unusually good text for an art book, including pieces about the photographer & his work on this project and essays by 2 great authors: Philip Fradkin & Rebecca Solnit. A beautiful and educational book."
