Fred Lyon at The Interval: San Francisco Time, The Photography of Fred Lyon
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The Interval presents Fred Lyon:San Francisco Time — The Photography of Fred Lyon
Fred Lyon is a time traveler with a camera and tales to tell. At 94-years-old, most as a professional photographer, this fourth generation San Franciscan has an eye for the city and stories to match. We'll show photos from Fred's books San Francisco, Portrait of a City: 1940-1960 and San Francisco Noir, and images spanning his diverse career. In conversation he'll discuss his art, work, and life; recollections of old friends like Herb Caen and Trader Vic Bergeron; and more. He'll share his unique perspective: nearly a century with San Francisco.
Check-in begins 6:30pm; talk starts at 7:30 at The Interval at Long Now

Fred Lyon's career began in the early 01940's and has spanned news, architecture, advertising, wine and food photography. In the golden years of magazine publishing his picture credits were everywhere from LIFE to VOGUE and beyond. These days find him combing his picture files for galleries, publishers and print collectors. He has been called "San Francisco's Brassaï". He's also been compared to Cartier Bresson, Atget and Andre Kertez, but all with a San Francisco twist. That's fine with this lifelong native who happily admits his debt to those icons.
