We All Need to Look for New Angles in 2024!

As I look at my old photographs of Candlestick Park, the architecture in the support beams is amazing. Even though this stadium was old, the angle futuristic design impresses me still today. Amazingly, these support beams held up during the big and small earthquakes in San Francisco. So, I shot these photographs in the early… Continue reading We All Need to Look for New Angles in 2024!

I Shot Candlestick Park But the Old Cars are Epic!

So, I shot this photograph of Candlestick Park a long long time ago. When I focused on the Candlestick Park stadium, I also shot the parking lot with the cars.

How High Can You Climb Up Without Looking Down?

Here are the mighty Candlestick Park stadium light standards. They were painted red in the 1970s and 1980s. I loved how they were tremendously bright to light up the night games for the San Francisco Giants and the 49ers. Thus they were easily recognizable when driving by on US 101. One of the best things… Continue reading How High Can You Climb Up Without Looking Down?

Spectacular Candlestick Park Glowed in the Dark!

In the late 1980’s, I shot this photo of Candlestick Park in the evening. Since its demolition, I miss seeing this park from Hwy 101. Also I loved the towering lights shining down on the Stick.

St. Francis of Assisi looking out at Candlestick Park

As I walked across the dirt… Continue reading St. Francis of Assisi looking out at Candlestick Park

Missing St Francis At Candlestick Park

The St Francis of Assisi Statue lit up with the setting sun at Candlestick Park in 1988 when the stadium and statue were still there. Now, they are both gone from this location. When the sun shone thru the halo around the head of the statue, it was truly magnificent. Old SF Gate Article about… Continue reading Missing St Francis At Candlestick Park

Candlestick Park Red Chair Flare

This Candlestick Park Red Chairs photograph was shot in the later afternoon before a night game. These chairs are the best memorabilia to remember the Stick! Maybe one day my wife will allow me to own an actual chair. I did buy an orange seat to use as a background for shooting my photo products.… Continue reading Candlestick Park Red Chair Flare

What was on the Southside of Candlestick Park?

Do you remember the southern part of Candlestick Park. I took this shot in 1988. I love looking at the design of the red pattern of the support beams circling the outside of the stadium. The vintage cars in the parking lot remind us of this eta in the 80’s. Notice the ramp which leads… Continue reading What was on the Southside of Candlestick Park?
