New Look at the People of San Francisco,
By KCashen (San Francisco, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The People of San Francisco: Lives of Accomplishment--Portraits (Paperback)
The People of San Francisco presents a unique view of the denizens of this lively community. In contrast to typical photo essays, the beautiful portraiture and well-written biographies give you a new look at the names and faces you hear about regularly as a resident. This book would be a great gift for "person who has everything" living in SF.

Winning combination,
This review is from: The People of San Francisco: Lives of Accomplishment--Portraits (Paperback)
Elaine Badgley/Arnoux's uniquely personal and excellent mixed media portraits of San Francisco's mainstream citizens accompanied by the brief and sensitive biographies by Porche' and Elliot combine to make The People of San Francisco a most collectible artist's catalog. Every city needs a comparable collection of portrayals of their memorable greats and near-greats.
