Peer review: Danny Lyon, AB’63
The first staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Danny Lyon, has spent the past four decades wandering the globe. Along the way, he's lived among motorcycle gangs, Texas cross-dressers, and Columbian prostitutes. The result: Danny Lyon: Memories of Myself (Phaidon Press, 2009), a collection of photo series and personal essays. Lyon took the photo above, "Boulevard Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Port-au-Prince," in Haiti during the turbulent 1980s, around the time "Baby Doc" was overthrown.
