James White tries his hand at a typical Lumiere street scene in San Diego.
Lumiere had been producing these street scenes ever since their first round of movies in 1894, and White decided to try his hand at them. This shows a street car rolling past the camera, followed by bicyclists. Unfortunately, there's little to identify this as San Diego, given the lack of landmarks, billboards, or people dressed in a manner peculiar to San Diego. It might be any city with a street car and people riding bicycles.
Happily, White did not shoot these utterly undistinguished sights in his usual, incomprehensible manner, focusing on the backs of peoples' heads.
