Thanks for the link, Svend. It's good shot and given the circumstances of their plight he may be right about the expression of the lad who is holding the dog but I found myself led to Danny Lyon's interpretation of his face from his words
As an expression there is room for interpreting it as a kind of cowed suspicion as well. It is the kind of hurt, defensive defiance that I'd expect to see on a teenager for whom life had dealt a difficult hand He appears to be already moulded into someone for whom friendly openness is not a natural state. Essentially it suggests a lack of deep-down confidence and trust which may exist for good reasons Maybe I am really saying what Danny Lyons is saying Mike Last edited by Mike O'Pray; 6th August 2020 at 02:02 PM. Reason: inclusion of the word "what " to make the last sentence make senseTsion |

Hi Mike,
You and Mr. Lyon seem to share the same "eye" for mood and emotion . I do agree, it is quite a striking image. He caught the character and soul of the young man brilliantly. There's a lot to unpack and study there. Outstanding photo. A few years ago the Art Gallery of Ontario here in Toronto did a large photo exhibit called The Outsiders, and they showed several images by Danny Lyon, amongst others (e.g. Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, Gordon Parks). I can still remember Lyon's like yesterday. Very talented photographer.
