San Francisco Love Affair: A Photographic Romance
 First off, let me say that my name is Gene Wright, but I am not the famous Gene
Wright in this book about San Francisco, nor am I related or connected in any
way and except for my love of photography, this is my only connection.
Now! on about the book

find this book a fantastic visual delight. Gene Wright (1916-2004) has
photographed the city from all vantage points. His photographs present a
