Summary: | "In this beautiful homage to San Francisco, dim headlights, blinking neon signs, and pale moonbeams illuminate foggy streets; dark shadows obscure the faces of lurking figures; and flickering candles and bright camera flashes lure us into crowded, intimate nightclubs. Legendary photographer Fred Lyon invites readers to revel in the rich character of the city he has documented for over seventy-five years.The cinematic glamour of a mysterious bygone era mingles with gritty, poignant daily moments, revealing a view of San Francisco as only Lyon could capture."--Provided by publisher. |
