Book Description

June 1, 1998
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, but really "Bay Area from Above", June 20, 2000
This review is from: Above San Francisco (Hardcover)
Very nice. Title should be "Bay Area from Above." It covers Silicon Valley, San Mateo, Marin, and many other parts of Bay Area -- with SF. My only complaint is the 25 overhead views of wineries out of 200 pages -- they all look pretty much the same... Overall, a very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Photos, March 6, 2002
By 
Mark (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Above San Francisco (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing photographs of the Bay Area, June 1, 2006
This review is from: Above San Francisco (Hardcover)
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.
