I love this nostalgia. I find myself watching old movies of San Francisco just to see how the city has changed. In one of the Dirty Harry movies there's a great shot that shows the where the ballpark is now as a basically empty industrial area. Great to see how soma and the rest of the city has evolved over the years.

The quality of those images is very nice. Smartphones definitely don't come close to those colours. No doubt the photographers skill also plays a big role, but that "pigment print" is sublime.

I'm guess Cibachrome prints though you can't fully appreciate online.

Pigment prints are pretty rare these days. A photographer I was at a dinner a couple of months back favored a Bay area company that prints on metal as an alternative.
