Shawn Clovers Photographs of San Francisco

I first saw Shawn Clover's photograph when I saw his unique series of San Francisco, in which he combined his photographs with archival photographs from the 1906 earthquake that leveled the city.  Over 3000 people were killed and fires raged for three days afterwards, destroying 80% of the city.  This archival aerial view shows the total destruction of the city as well as another image capturing the fires consuming the city.  Below are some selected photos from this series by Shawn Clover.  You can see more of these photos from this collection as well as other shots of the city and other locations across the globe on his website or flickr photostream.

Below are more photographs of San Francisco but these are tilt shift photos and a few HDR shots.
