A photographer has united San Francisco these days and after the April 1906 earthquake
18 April 1906, a powerful earthquake in San Francisco. The shocks were felt from Oregon to Los Angeles, and within the continent - to the center of Nevada. The earthquake and subsequent fires killed up to 3 thousand people, 225-300 thousand were left homeless, 80% of buildings in San Francisco were destroyed.
However, the main culprit of the tragedy that occurred in San Francisco in April 1906, was not an underground shock, but a large-scale fire that followed.
An earthquake occurred in 5: 14 in the morning local time. Its magnitude was estimated at 7,8 - this was enough for houses built in fragile materials located in the seaside lowland. Several prestigious hotels and the administration building failed to withstand the blow.
Since then, every year, citizens gather around the Lotta fountain on Market Street, at 5 in the morning to honor the memory of those affected by the earthquake.
With 2010 of the year, photographer Sean Clover creates an amazing series of photos that reflect the unity of the modern and past worlds (1906 is the year when 80% of the city was destroyed by an earthquake).
The photographer collected archival photographs of the effects of the earthquake, found the places and so built up the position and focus of the camera that the likelihood is simply amazing.
