My Name is David Lyon

I am Retired Navy Seabee, who is currently a truck driver. I started my Naval career as a Photographer’s Mate, attending the US Naval School of Photography in Pensacola, FL . I am an award-winning amateur photographer specializing in medium and large format photography, with a passion for black and white work, and produce wet darkroom prints.

The above photos are both of myself with my late oldest sister, Susi and a recent portrait taken with my newest camera, a Chroma Carbon Adventure 5x7. As of 1/22, it is the only 5x7 Chroma has produced. (photo by Gina Baker @Akoma Photography)

Currently I own and shoot 20 cameras ranging from 35mm to 5x7 inch. These cameras range from 1897 to 2021, with the majority being made before 1955.

Thank-you for taking the time to look at a sample of my work. I will keep up-dating as time and work permits.
