I particularly love your insider perspectives on the realities of designing - precisely what is lacking in the written world of design.

Your best- of course is yet to come. They are all topping one another. This one I have read 2 or 3 times. I love love love it (that is more than 3 of these!!!) One of my favourite things is hearing about the idiosyncrasies of designers &amp; in this case, the tales reflect the visuals of the interiors.How wonderful to capture these images Mr. Lyon is &amp; even more SO to give us the up close personal stories- I can just picture MT at his morning routine. I so love the JD story about his not getting clients from the publicity. These images are so timeless-how Lyon captures the era, the designer &amp; the room. I bow to your brilliant interview, Thank you for bringing these memorable images to us and bringing their creator into a brilliant light.

What a man of taste Fred Lyon is!! I like his photographs. They look so alive and his attention to detail is also quite obvious in his photo. I could find something new in each time I look at them. That&#39;s a sign of a great photographer. I like his idea of keeping simple is the rule for being chic. Talking about chic, I listened to an interesting interview with the interior designer John Stefanidis (my ultimate idol, I have all his books at home) on BBC Radio 3, a classical music channel. He is such a fascinating man with an impeccable taste. He speaks like a Partician or BBC World Services from pre-war era. You can listen to this interview online too.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nkx8xA Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-4463399501346016052009-11-02T18:49:32.539-08:002009-11-02T18:49:32.539-08:00DEAR BRILLANTE<br />DEAR SALLY<br /><br />Thank you so much for your lovely recognition of the great Fred.<br /><br />He is such a gracious person, and such a raconteur.<br /><br />One sad detail I did not write about in the post: much of his great film was destroyed by Conde Nast when House &amp; Garden was dismantled the first (of many) times...they threw out film. That was in the days, of course, of film...so it was gone forever.<br />Fred fortunately saved the images we see on my blog, but otherwise...this is all he has.<br />I always ask him for more and more--and he always says, &#39;Sorry, no more...that is it.&quot;Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-51632127595640702832009-11-02T17:53:06.902-08:002009-11-02T17:53:06.902-08:00Fred is just the BEST and you bring out the best of him!GRAYSONFAVOURhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395420253863103741[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-58930620838157569782009-11-02T16:34:58.064-08:002009-11-02T16:34:58.064-08:00A master photographer and a very interesting person, young and vibrant.

But the shots are a lot of the same--same bones in the room of the table and columns but furniture added and subtracted.<br />Thanks for your comment. so pleased, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-56956463496196745782009-11-02T15:05:17.506-08:002009-11-02T15:05:17.506-08:00Delightful.
