The Seventh Dog is a new monograph/photobook by American photographer
Danny Lyon. Organised chronologically, this artist's book tells the
story of Danny Lyon's 50-year-career as one of America's most original
and influential documentary photographers. Groundbreaking as a photobook
in itself, Lyon tells this story starting in the present day and going
back in time to the beginning of his career in the 1960s when he
photographed the American civil rights movement and the Chicago
bikeriders. Through text and image - colour and b&w photographs,
original photo collages, letters and other ephemera (many published here
for the first time), and Lyon's own writings - this is a story of Danny
Lyon's personal journey as a photographer - a story about
photojournalism, the move from film to digital photography, about Lyon's
life and quest as a photographer, and of America.
