He discovered the ecstasy of speeding along Georgia highways during the civil rights movement, with red dirt fields of peanuts and cotton flying by. In the excitement of driving, he realized his own mortality.

The pictures were taken in Nebraska, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a work of pure visual photography. The premise behind the work is that many things—sculptures, monuments, buildings—take on a new and added beauty as they deteriorate and become ruins: a certain pathos is added to their original beauty. This is true of the automobiles in this series: once the beloved machines of people and families who owned and drove them, they now evoke a terrible beauty and sadness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47558408995034,"sku":"978-8862088329","price":68.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0371\/5780\/files\/71WcNL2qRIL._SL1500.jpg?v=1770138091","url":"https:\/\/studioargentique.ca\/fr\/products\/danny-lyon-junk-america-in-ruins","provider":"Studio Argentique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
