These photos are a gentle reminder of
who we used to be, and an invitation to reconnect with that part of ourselves we might have left behind.
Between Us
The Dutch have a word, gezellig, that doesn't translate cleanly but captures a particular quality of togetherness that is cozy and alive with human warmth.
The man and his dog absorbed in a parade, the boy grilling outside his house turning the sidewalk into a kitchen, the performers throwing ribbons through the air as they move down the street. These aren't staged moments of unity. They're evidence of how Baltimore creates space for people to gather.
Stereotypes obscure the perspective of a city that makes room for connection, that holds both the loud and the intimate, that refuses the isolation it's been assigned. My photographs offer a different story.
ReBUILD Metro
For almost 20 years, ReBUILD Metro has been dedicated to working with communities of East Baltimore to restore their abandoned houses and vacant lots into new homes, greenspaces, and community assets.
ReBUILD Metro asked me to come in and produce a series of photos highlighting the process and progress of their developments, and capture the enthusiasm of community members that their program has benefitted.

Nice to meet you,
I’m Lyon...
I'm a Baltimore-based teacher, designer, and photographer shaped by my childhood in Amsterdam, where I learned to read the city through its social interactions—the gestures, glances, and moments of connection that unfold on street corners and stoops.
