I attempted to correct the damaged horizontal hold problems with the orginal video footage and set the trip to GNU music from that decade.
It is wild to see the people running all disorganized as the traffic light nor traffic rules had yet top be invented. Chaos in the streets and it is likely many many people died. Now a days if you cross the yellow line some state highway patrol officer freaks out like Officer Rivieri. Not that the bad news cops in this video look any sweeter.
The town really bustles in a mix between model-t and horse drawn wagons as the trolly car makes its way through the city.
Imagine the smell wood and coal stoves cooking up dinners. Image the fumes of gasoline 4 cylider model-t engines and horse dung as it dusted through the nostrils and the smell of the people who did not bath. All this on a warm San Franciso day under your fancy derby hat and jacket. Or maybe a corsette.
It is interesting to see the curiosity of the people for the new fangled invention of a film camera. It is also neat to see how many police officers there are along the streets which leads one to reflect on the days of the wild wild west.
Anyway enjoy the film and the thought provoking and inspirational message at the end. After all, everyone in the film had their shot at life.
In 1906 this area was devastated by a major earthquake in which many of those you see in this video died.

Don't be sad. We all get to spin on this world for a while. It was what they did while they were here that counted. Just as what we do while we are here counts.
5 generations just like that one came and exited. Enjoy life and do good, right?
Thanks for commenting.

I am surprised at the number of automobiles. Not just little one and two cylinder cars, but many high dollar large touring cars as well. I was fortunate enough to inherit my fathers 1910 buick, which we take for ice cream on occasion. Great to see the life it once led.

That has to be a head-turner. Is it restored or orginal?

i cant imagine how people in 1905 were able to live their lives with squiggly wires and black spots always flickering in the air

Really weird to think that almost every single person on the planet at the time this was filmed is now a body in the ground.

Holy shit.

originally the quality would be a lot better probably pretty high resolution even by today's standards but the film wasnt kept in a cold place so it deteriorated over time

Driving in 1905 looks like it sucked. You never know when you might run down a scampering newsy, or turn the corner to find a horse cart crossing in front of your path.
