When moving back to the SF Bay Area from Pasadena in 1988, I asked a
friend who lived in Berkeley whether it would be a good place to look
into as I was going to be working in San Leandro, just a few miles
south. His response was classic: "Well, anyone who lives in Berkeley
goes to San Francisco all the time for entertainment and culture.
Whereas most people who live in San Francisco never bother to go to
Berkeley." I always thought that was very funny.
I moved to San Francisco. Would love to move back there, but it's out
of commuting range by my personal standards if you're working in the
San Jose neighborhood.

(for example, a more diverse exhibition, albeit smaller) exhibition of
Ansel Adams' photographs than his 100th anniversary celebration and
exhibit
at the SF MOMA a few years ago, the venue where Salgado has hung is

But it's
a small town. And a lot more conservative in many respects than
one might
think.
