Frame by Frame Travel: HIGH ANXIETY

N

I have been to this location for many times in two decades I lived in San Francisco Bay Area. It has a fascinating architecture. The perfect title, High Anxiety is actually a 1977 comedy film produced and directed by Mel Brooks, who also plays the lead. The film’s location was primarily this famous Embarcadero lanmark Hyatt Regency Hotel.

What a wonderfully abstract shot Nihat. The high contrast of the slide film has really added to it too I think. Nice.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Funny film too. Nice one, Nihat!

 

[Brian Moore]

Cool shot, Nihat. (Hanging fairy lights...?)

 

[Pete Askew]

You vigilante you!

Thank you very much, Pete. I agree, Agfa Scala was a wonderful film.

Thanks, Rob! Indeed, that funny film inspired me to photograph this building.

It's a long time since I've seen anyone talk about that film. I love the abstract nature of this shot and the angle is perfect
