The Seventh Dog

I own two of Lyon's other books and they're also wonderful, but this is Lyon's best book ever. It's filled with a huge collection of superb photos that practically jump right off the pages. What a masterful and powerful photographer!

First of all, I am not a specialist of Danny Lyon's work. In this book, I am a little bit lost. It is a kind of retrospective, beginning in 2013 and back to the sixties. No doubt about the engagement of the photographer. But the book has a lousy printing (4 colors, printed in China) and a strange lay-out. In fact, the most interesting part of the book are the texts. I have other Lyon's books. Memories of Myslef is definitely a better choice if you want an overview on the photographer's work. And of yourse if you can afford it, The destruction of lower Manhattan is the book to have.

I am a fan of Danny Lyon and this book is a must. Very well presented, insightful and inspiring, it is a great retrospective.
