We are saddened by the recent passing of renowned photographer Fred Lyon, who died in August at the age of 97. Lyon apprenticed at Gabriel Moulin Studio, and studied photography under Ansel Adams, Will Connell, and Edward Kaminski. Lyon photographed the transformation of his treasured hometown into a center for optimism, prosperity, and growth after World War II. Lyon’s photographs are in the collection of numerous Bay Area museums, and a selection may also be seen in our exhibition of his work, “San Francisco Yesterday 1948-1958”, which we featured in 2013: https://bit.ly/3L9i72z This image was posted on September 14, 2022.
