"Lone Mountain, from the Orphan Asylum"
about 1868 San Francisco

I selected this picture because it is a place that has become a city that is not the same as the picture as of today and has developed many great and bad cultures today. This is a picture of San Francisco California taken by a famous photographer Carleton Watkins in which he took many picture of landscape property's and areas around the world. This picture inspires me in a certain way were anything can start from nothing like this picture of San Francisco and can become something like a big city like it is today. The over view like this entire land and become a great city as it is today. I also admire that the viewer can see how certain aspects like the roads homes and culture was very much different then what they are today. No businesses, gas station, and no fast food restaurants in every corner like there are today. Also no gentrification had being taken place yet in which has affected our society the most today.
