Taken with a box of American Spirits on red scaled film. The pinhole was too big but I still got some interesting results.
American Bison

After our visit to Stanford, Patty and I met up with Rita. It was the first time we had met; she’s a terrific person and a wonderful tour guide. Our first stop was a tour of Golden Gate Park and the Buffalo Paddock, an 11-acre enclosure where these fascinating animals live.
While called Buffalo, they’re actually American Bison. At one time, 30 million of these beasts roamed the country, before they were decimated by the westward expansion. The first three Bison were brought to the park in 1890, the year of the Wounded Knee Massacre, and also at a time when the entire Bison population was estimated to be only 500. The names of the Bison were Princess, Madame Bernhardt, and Ben Harrison. By the early 1900’s, the herd numbered near 100.
When the descendants of that herd contracted bacterial tuberculosis in the 1980’s, they were sent to graze near the San Francisco county jail in San Bruno. In 1984, a new herd was donated by former Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
Set begins here.
