For #ThrowbackThursday...

Yesterday's picture of a container ship sailing through the Golden Gate channel reminded me of a picture I took way back in 2007. I had just gotten my first DSLR, the Pentax K10D... and for a few months I started rushing around town like Jimmy Olsen, photographing every event, apartment fire, marathon, gay bar opening, and person dressed like a superhero at the Bay to Breakers race.

Anyway, this is what I photographed on Sunday, February 4th, 2007, from Crissy Field.

And this is what the newspapers excitedly reported that day:

SFGATE: QUEEN'S GRAND ENTRANCE / LARGEST SHIP EVER TO SAIL TO SAN FRANCISCO / THE SCENE ASHORE:

A giant cruise liner enters the San Francisco Bay, surrounded by dozens of small boats. A helicopter flies overhead. Water from fire boats greets the ship. And people line up on the shore, watching the arrival with great interest. It was so exciting 🙄 Monochrome, because history always looks more historical when things are photographed in black and white.

That's a great shot with those "small" sailing boats and the helicopter as comparison in size.
