Fred Lyon’s San Francisco

Photographer friend John turns my attention to a recent showing of some 1940s and 1950s work of San Francisco legend Fred Lyon, documenting his home town in the 1940s and 1950s. This post was originally intended for just my photoblog, but this stuff is too great to not share more widely, starting with this, a personal favorite for me:
