About Bob David:
Bob David, a long time Bridge District employee, began working for the Bridge District 40 + years ago. He is an architect and functioned as Design Director for the agency until his retirement in 2003.
During that time as an informal historian and archivist of the Bridge he documented various construction projects including the re-decking work in the 1980's. Retired from his full-time duties, Bob now works part-time photo-documenting the bridge's $961 million seismic retrofit project.
Most recently Bobs work involved chronicling the Movable Median Barrier system a 13,340 foot span of barrier consisting of 12-inch wide and 32-inch high steel clad units filled with high density concrete.
He has captured the bridge's vibrant color in some 20,000 photographs that spanned over 1,000 assignments. To achieve the high resolution results of milestone project images, Bob frequently uses an historic large format camera. It's all part of the life of being the official photographer of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District.
Bob will recount his personal journey encountering various historical, artistic, and architectural anecdotes about the Bridge. In 2012 he helped curate the exhibit of original Bridge drawings, paintings and artifacts at the California Historical Society in San Francisco. His lecture stems from that exhibit.
Expect a lively evening, and a unique perspective into this celebrated San Francisco landmark.
Don't miss it!
