Pier 24 Photo Museum is superb!  par excellence for  photographers and collectors of fine art photography!
Thank you for making this place free, accessible, and caring so much about the photographic medium.
Pier 24 gives photography a home for people to visit. Andy Pillara did a huge thing for  SF and its international
visitors.  Brava!
This place is huge, you need to make an appointment and take two hours to see it...at least if you can!
I brought my photos students there and they really  enjoyed themselves and I hope are using this as
a inspirational lift to their own photographic endeavors.
The photos at Pier 24 are supreme!  Ruth Berhard, Richard Misrach, Edward Weston, stand out in my mind's eye.

Black n white, beautiful prints, tonal ranges, large format prints and enlarged contact sheets!  Pretty cool stuff...
Now aesthetically speaking....top shelf all the way...lots of discussions going on with my students....they can learn a lot from this....lighting and form of shooting nudes, the perspective of architectural photography, the photo essays of Berkeley in the 70's (Misrach), traditional photography of
the California earthquakes....the devastation of the Oakland Fire Fire in large scale photography....very impressive.....can really "feel" the emotions in some of these photos...
