Home Movie: 097799 (silent)

Description: Luminous Kodachrome gleams where thoroughly exposed, showing the Century 21 exposition in Seattle as a highlight along a trip by ferry and by coastal highway between British Columbia and San Francisco. While many sequences are underexposed, the views of Vancouver, Seattle, and San Francisco are historically significant, and documentation of distressed apartment buildings in Seattle is rendered personally significant where the filmmaker indicates they are photographing their birthplace.
