Today, SFO Museum holds approximately 750 photographic negatives made by Moxom while on assignment at the Airport. A trained photographer, Moxom’s images are marked by an outstanding level of craftsmanship and careful composition. Presented in this exhibition are aerial photographs made by Moxom between 1958 and 1964 that depict the Airport and surrounding landscape of the San Francisco Peninsula.
Marshall Moxom (1916–2007) was a San Francisco-based photographer active between the late 1930s and mid-1970s. During his tenure with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (PUC), Moxom frequently worked at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), where he made aerial photographs and documented terminal construction, events, and airport personnel.
