San Francisco Noir - Fred Lyon
McEvoy
Photographer Fred Lyon is a San Francisco flaneur — a flaneur with a purpose, if I may modify the definition of the word — and this freewheeling, Western metropolis is Fred’s muse, his artist’s canvas, his passion, his obsession. He has a zeal for San Francisco that has no bounds.
He wanders the city streets, back alleys, and up and down its steep hills with his ever-present third eye: his camera, usually with a standard, midrange lens. He feels that a long telescopic lens takes him too far away from his subjects. Fred has had this third eye since he was a youth when he began shooting pictures with a Brownie box camera. And now the results are on the pages of this striking new book, San Francisco Noir.
When I first looked at Fred’s images for this book, it became clear to me that his concept of noir was an attitude, a state of mind that he has been internalizing for more than seven decades. As a fellow San Franciscan who has reported and written on the city and its characters (including Fred) for just as long, I could understand how this lengthy timeline brought him to this idea. To him, noir is what you get when you combine a yearning for the dark, the moody, and the edgy street
