Chinese pavilion, Golden Gate Park
A rainy Saturday, but I knew that if I worked at the Chinese Pavilion at Stowe Lake, I could get under cover if needed. I also suspected that the dark day might provide interesting background for the pavilion’s white features. Camera: Mamiya Press Universal, 75 mm 5.6 lens. Film: Ilford Delta 100. Developer: Rodinal, 1:50.
Circle of remembrance – National AIDS Memorial Grove
Delavega Dell, in Golden Gate Park, sat abandoned and overgrown for years. Beginning in 1991, hundreds of volunteers began renovating the 7.5-acre space as a memorial to those who had died and suffered as a result of AIDS. Today, the Congressionally authorized memorial is one of he loveliest and best-tended corners of the park. The circle is inscribed with the names of those who have died of AIDS.
