Collection Overview
Title:
[John Harding photograph archive]Creator/Contributor:
Harding, John, 1940 August 6-, creatorAbstract:
Series 1: chiefly large-format, exhibition quality photographs of street scenes in San Francisco, with an aesthetic emphasis
on color. Images depict various aspects of the city's social and cultural diversity, focusing on everyday people in public
spaces, and including such subjects as events, fashions, architecture, automobiles, neighborhoods, businesses, signs, graphic
design and other features of the urban environment. Many photographs taken at street fairs and other gatherings, such as the
San Francisco Gay Pride Parade and opening night at the San Francisco Symphony. Also includes similar scenes and portraits
from other California locations, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Walnut Creek, Marin County, Alameda, Oakland, Pacifica,
Madera, Antioch, Santa Cruz, Albany, Napa, Death Valley, Quincy, Moffett Field, Newport Beach, Watsonville, San Bruno, Half
Moon Bay, Rio Vista, Berkeley and San Jose. Also present are some scenes taken outside of California in such locations as
New York City, Colorado, Chicago, and Washington D.C. 2012 additions include selected negatives from the photographer's archive
and accompanying digital reference prints and digital image files of these selections, and oversize exhibition prints. 2016
additions include a box of color digital prints of images reproduced in Harding's book Analog days (2011) and a copy of this
book; and a unique book of 34 mounted prints of color street photography (ffALB vol. 1) with embossed title on front cover:
John Harding. 2019 additions include a set of color digital prints (ffALB box 9) corresponding to images reproduced in the
limited edition book Streets of discontent (2018).
Series 2: set of black and white portraits (ffALB box 8) depicting siblings, taken chiefly in the mid-1970s throughout the
United States. The first 69 photographs, gelatin silver prints, feature images reproduced in the publication Siblings (1982);
the remaining 33 photographs, digital prints, were reproduced in a later publication, also titled Siblings (2016).
Series 3: set of 29 black and white views (ffALB box 10) depicting San Francisco streets and neighborhoods, with an emphasis
on relatively remote locations of the city and a noteworthy absence of people and action. Taken between 2001 and 2005, set
corresponds to images (some identical, some different) in Harding's book San Francisco four x five.
