Like an Old Testament prophet, the photographer Danny Lyon has agitated for his fellow man to pursue justice and freedomThis was not always a popular message, nor a lucrative one, but that wasn’t how he saw his role. –The New York Times
Armed with a Triumph, a Nikon, and a unique dual perspective as both participant and observer, Lyon was able to access and portray a disarmingly intimate, familiar, and diverse subculture. –LA Weekly
A seminal work in the modern photography canon –Time
Whether shooting civil-rights protesters, motorcycle gang members or Texas inmates, the photographer empathized with his subjects—sometimes getting so close, he took up their cause. –The Wall Street Journal
Mr. Lyon…did more than anyone outside Hollywood to establish the image of the outlaw biker. –The New York Times Wheels blog
