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.

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.
