My gosh...I remember THAT word.
KODACHROME!
Two thoughts...
First, I spent a number of workdays about a month ago in the Potrero Hill District of SF, and got to walk and drive around there just a bit. Interesting and contrasting neighborhoods between the residential hill and industrial lowlands, the newer apartments/condos and the much older buildings that have survived from another time.
Second: somewhere, I have an old K25 slide of a little ol' dandilion in the front yard back in the 1980s, that with the warm-tones the film amplified and its higher contrast, made that middle yellow simply dazzling in its brilliance! Gotta go find some of those older images and scan them...see if they're as exciting as I remember.

Other than Ektachrome 64, Kodachrome was the only color film I would shoot until it started to get that green cast in the 1990's. Only the Palo Alto lab didn't have that problem and then Kodak stopped letting you decide where you wanted your film processed. Out went Kodachrome. In with EPR but less than 5% of my shooting was in color.

I love this shot. Just the angle shows the hills of SF so well. I love the color contrast of the drying clothes too. The blue hue of the buildings suggests an afternoon shot, but the shadow under the car makes it seem more like noon. Did you use a filter on this?
