内容介绍

Danny偏好拍摄那些不被主流社会喜欢看见的，甚至是厌恶的。他用自己的角度记录，不带有主流价值观的先入批判。Danny在东德克萨斯州和休斯敦的监狱里呆了14个月拍摄服刑人员。照片集结成“Conversations With the Dead”，也是他最有力量的一本书。Danny没有挑选服刑人员不堪的时刻拍摄，力图用自己的镜头将这群远离社会的概念上的“坏人”真正还原为人。这部纪实摄影集具有很强的影响力，被著名的摄影师马丁.帕尔与格里·巴杰称为是经典。

美国的监狱人口不断增长，目前也是世界上最大的。最近正在辩论关于使用药物执行死刑的问题，也是本书持续关注的问题。

Conversations with the Dead provides an extraordinary photographic record of life inside six Texas prisons and the relationships Lyon built with the inmates. Revolutionary at the time of publication, it was one of the first photobooks to include ephemera.

This new edition has been updated with an afterward by Lyon himself detailing what happened to the inmates in the 40 years since the book was first published. It also offers new, unseen material including outtake images, audio recordings and newly commissioned texts on a specially created microsite as a free ibook edition of this landmark publication.
