The Sutro Baths were constructed in 1894. The site had an ocean pool aquarium and a massive public bathhouse that could accommodate 10.000 people at one time. A classic Greek portal opened to a grandiose glass enclosure containing seven swimming pools at various temperatures. There were slides, trapezes, springboards and a high dive. The power of the Pacific Ocean during high tide could fill the 1.7 million gallons of water required for all the pools in just one hour. Over the decades the baths’ popularity declined. The end came in 1966 when a fire destroyed the structure.

Every once in awhile I find myself in position to do my civic duty when on one of my photo safaris. Recently, I stumbled upon a ferocious beast that had escaped from a nearby secret genetic laboratory that is reanimating ancient extinct species. I cornered the savage animal against a fence armed only with a Hasselblaski mounted with an ARSAT B 2.8/80mm lens. The dangerous creature hesitated, wary of the impressive medium format film camera long enough for the staff to tranquilize him, returning the dangerous animal to lab compound. I had to promise not to reveal the location of the lab, but feel that it is my obligation to the public to uncover the truth about this hideous program.
