More DescriptionNuminosity is a book that offers a unique and remarkable view of San Francisco. Of all the wonderful things people find in this city, there are special places that emanate its strength and character. These are the iconic cafés and diners scattered along the waterfront and industrial side of town known as Java Huts, plus a couple of other significant places and things. Their special stature and historic influence is remarkable and emblematic of the numinosity they embody.In this book you see Richard Perri¿s paintings of the Java Huts done from 1995 to 2005. Next to them are his photographs of what they look like now. Though many locations look much like they did in the paintings, some have changed and others are gone.No matter what happened to them, these vanishing historic landmarks are immortalized in this book, the paintings and in the minds and memories of those who see them. The Java Huts have numinosity carrying the message of a bygone era and a spirit of the infinite past.
