I have been influenced by Danny LYON's photographs before I picked up a camera and i think of his images when I think about what's going on now on the border region and what I feel about prison and the spirituality even in the dark corners. I found this iconic photograph of the prisoner showering with the Guadalupe on his back. I wish the news media would bring more of this truth and vision to the stands....but I love the internet for this dialogue and exchange for exactly this. It is a great interview and says so much about why we do what we do as photographers. http://phomul.canalblog.com/images/LYON_Danny_new.JPG It inspired me so much that I'm using it to start a blog for the Flagstaff Photo Center to spread the power of the message of the image and the word. I am always telling the photo students who I run into to check out your site.....so much for the collage education when no one is learning what you've got going here.... cool runnings from Chihuahua!

There is that interaction, which is one of the things I really enjoy when working with people. I am in total agreement with Danny Lyon on this, and it reminds me of similar statements from Richard Avedon. Photography sometimes feels like performance art.
