Gridskipper has a piece on an exhibition which opens on Saturday at the Legion of Honor.

“Starting Saturday (December 17), the Legion of Honor hosts an exhibit called “After the Ruins, 1906 and 2006: Rephotographing the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.” The show commemorates the 100th anniversary (April 18, 2006) of the 1906 earthquake and fire which devastated San Francisco. Over 70 pairs of photos document how parts of San Fran looked like after the disasters, compared with the same view of the same location now. The project is the brainchild of photographer Mark Klett, who has done similar work with other historical-contemporary photo pairs out elsewhere in the western U.S. The exhibit runs until June 4, 2006.”
