Jones and O'Farrell

My friend put an old picture on Facebook, I commented with more pictures, we wound up oohing and aahing over Fred Lyons' San Francisco photography:

Fred Lyon: San Francisco Portfolio

I liked this one


and just had to find the same spot in Google maps. It took some doing.

Really cool. It's amazing, really, how little has changed. I mean, hats are out of style, but the jackets are cut about the same! Really I meant the buildings. I was confused because the photographer was Lyons, but the name on the corner store front starts out, LYNO. At first glance I thought he was taking a picture of his own business.

I guess I should have looked first then commented. Those are some great photos! Both artistically and technically. That is the San Francisco that I first saw with my own eyes.

I like the Barbary Coast one, with the neon and the cowboy twirling his lariat. Not much has changed when it comes to "come ons" in various touristy areas, right?

I think my favorite is the aerial shot of the Bay Bridge with the seagull in the foreground.
