I was starting out in my photo career more or less when I took a university phot workshop at CU in 1987/88. Lyons, a light at the end of the tunnel regarding photography, IMO, had several theories regarding photography, one of which is "Thesis, Synthesis, AntiThesis"--outlined here on the university blackboard, the basis of his theory. This image was taken with a camera he himself used & was familiar with, a Leica 111F, a camera I possessed & was exposed to in 1958 at the age of 14 when my parents purchased it in Germany. I still have it, and use it on occasion as I did taking this portrait of Lyons and making a diptych. Ironically, just days ago, I submitted this image to a juried show in Ft. Collins, a show entitled "Portraits".
