Description

Self-taught as a photographer, Lyon never intended photography to be his profession, but he discovered that he could use the medium to effectively advocate for social change. This image, made just three years after he first picked up a camera, won a photo contest and attracted the attention of a juror, a curator at the Art Institute of Chicago, who became his mentor.
