Above San Francisco

By Hardcover copy with dust jacket. Third Pr 1988. Above San Francisco by Robert Cameron and Herb Caen

Book Overview

San Francisco,
For more than a century, writers and poets have tried desperately to grasp the elusive Camelot. It is, perhaps, more a quest for a photographer. Surely its God-given beauty has never been more thoroughly captured than in these exquisite photographs by Robert Cameron. From his helicopter soaring over this idyllic setting, Bob Cameron has looked down with a God-like eye and recorded with his camera what God sees. He has recorded it for you, gentle reader, and for generations yet to come. Here in these pages is proof that, yes, once there was a Camelot.

With introduction and text by Art Hoppe.

Astonishing photographs of the Bay Area

This is an amazing book with photographs of not only San Francisco, but of the bay area including San Jose, Napa Valley, and San Mateo. I lived in San Jose 12 years ago, and haven't had a chance to go back and visit. This book, however, will use as a reminder of how beautiful this area is! You cannot be disappointed by this or any other book by Robert Cameron, as I have stumbled upon the 'Above Chicago' book. You will be dazzled with every flip of the page.

Excellent Souvenir for the City by the Bay!

Whenever we have friends or relatives visit from out-of-state or overseas, we give them a copy of this excellent picture book. This works particularly well for our non-English speaking visitors who may peruse the pages - remembering all the exciting places we've visited during their stay!

Soaring San Francisco

I have always been a big fan of Robert Carmeron's work, I really feel he is the best at this kind of photography. This book is amazing, San Francisco never looked better and that is really saying something. Mr. Carmeron is from the Bay Area so he saves some of his best work for this book, which has been gloriously updated. The views and angles he gets are nothing short of spectacular. San Francisco is one of the worlds most beautiful cities and it's really saying something when a book can guild the lilly like this one. I highly recommend it to anyone with a love for this great city or just a love of great photography.

Great Photos

This is a great photo book of the San Fransico bay area. It includes just about every area around, including San Jose, Oakland, Stanford, etc. It has photos of the city, Silicon Valley and most of the major Computer companies and chip makers such as Intel and AMD. Living in this area, I really like this book as I can see what my area looks like and there are a lot of photos, including every major bay bridge....

This book is totally awesome

I love the before and after pictures contrasting the same street now vs. 100 years ago. Susan likes it too!
