Fred Lyon, “Taylor and Pine Street, San Francisco”, 1954, Silver Gelatin Print
Fred Lyon is a photographer who was always out on the streets of San Francisco in the 1940′s and 50′s constantly shooting black and white film with his Leica camera. Lyon had a day job as a freelance magazine and commercial photographer, and worked on his own projects whenever he had a minute.
A book of his photographs, “Portrait of a City, 1940-1960,” was published in 2014 by Princeton Architectural Press, The images were developed from a file cabinet full of negatives that hadn’t been looked at for five decades.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
