Afternoon Palate Cleanser: San Francisco 1958

Jeff Altman of Chicago discovered this beautiful old film reel of his grandfather's, entitled "Alameda 1958." Altman's grandfather, who is pictured in front of the camera and behind the scenes, had traveled to San Francisco via a navy aircraft. Altman also has a reel documenting his grandfather's voyage to SF, which he will be posting on Vimeo soon. (Background music by Air -- "Alone In Kyoto.")
