In commemoration of the centennial of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Mark Klett and Michael Lundgren rephotographed many of the sites documented by Arnold Genthe (American, 1869-1942) in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. "It became clear that interpreting the larger scenes before us was more interesting than re-creating the little slices of space that the original photos recorded," Klett explained. "That is, the 1906 pictures carved a small window out of the very large space at which the camera pointed, and now that larger space has been developed in a way that the original photographer could not have thought possible." This panorama stitches together 11 views of Nob Hill from 2004 with Genthe's central image of a shattered stone lion and other debris on the steps of Huntington Park taken from a negative in the collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
