About the Author:
After graduating from the University of Chicago in
1963, Danny Lyon joined the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC). As their sta
photographer he made photographs that proved to
be an important historical record of the Southern
Civil Rights Movement. Lyon subsequently gained
broad recognition as a photographer, filmmaker, and
writer. Working in the style called New Journalism,
which involved immersing himself and becoming a
participant in a given subject, Lyon photographed
motorcyclists in the Midwest and documented life
within the Texas prison system. Lyon's talent was
recognized by the Guggenheim Foundation, which
awarded him a fellowship in photography in 1969
and another, in film, a decade later. Lyons has had
one-person exhibitions at the Museum of Modern
Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; and the
Center for Creative Photography at the University
of Arizona.
