The photographs are drawn from three bodies of work created from 1963 to 1980, with subjects ranging from bikeriders on a race track, to prisoners in a cotton field, to children in the streets of Colombia. For each image, Lyon presents this challenge to us as viewers: “The pictures do not ask you to ‘help’ these people, but something much more difficult; to be briefly and intensely aware of their existence, an existence as real and significant as your own.”
