The Ford in the Street
Danny Lyon
Description
Subject Matter:
After The Bikeriders series, Lyon decided to go South in search of a new project. He stopped in Knoxville, Tennessee, creating many unpublished works of the people in the town. Many of these images include young men and boys working on automobiles, or relaxing with friends in cars. In this image, two young men sit inside the vehicle, one leaning against the exterior. Lyon recalls finding this vehicle broken down on the side of the road. After helping the owner, Lyon took a series of photographs of him and his friends.
