“The pictures do not ask you to help these people but something more difficult.. to be briefly, intricately aware of their existence, an existence as real and significant as your own”
~ Danny Lyon
It is very rare that a group of photos becomes the inspiration and basis for a feature film. But this is the case with the release this weekend of Jeff Nichols’s “The Bikeriders” staring, Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy.
I’m not a biker. I drive an old Lexus SUV. I’m not cool, but I can dream I am! The above Danny Lyon image is surely the greatest image ever taken of a biker. You can hear the sounds of the Harley and feel the adrenaline of the rider pumping away.
