| | | | | As legend has it according to O'Neill's own account, his eureka moment shortly following the vest's creation took place at San Francisco International Airport. After boarding a DC-3 for Los Angeles he looked down at the floor noticing a thin padding of black rubber sticking out from under the edge of the carpet. The material, a synthetic rubber invented by DuPont and named neoprene, helped insulate the heated passenger cabin from the frigid spaces below deck. It was smooth sealed, closed cell, flexible, quite strong, and proved fairly impervious to saltwater. Soon the era of the wetsuit was fueling the allure of surfing for the masses. | |

| | | | | This is the first of multi-part blog post (11 in all!) about geotagging photos in the SFO Museum collection. It's also a blog post about how we're doing that work and why we're taking a longer road than we might otherwise to get there. Over the course of the next couple weeks we'll post one short blog post a day focused on a specific step, or area of concern, in that process. This first blog post will set the stage and outline some of our motivations for seeing geotagging photos in our collection as a chance to address larger issues in the cultural heritage sector. | |
