JUNK is a spectacular visual journey through the great forgotten junkyards of the West, where the historic gas-guzzling monsters of the 1950s and ’60s lie wrecked and rusting in the relentless western sun. At first with his Rolleiflex loaded with color negative film, then working with a Fujifilm medium format digital camera, Lyon pictures the cars as if they were remnants of a civilization in ruins. Junk: America in Ruins (Damiani Books, 2025) features images of more than 80 American cars that Lyon discovered in forgotten junkyards on travels through Nebraska, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma.
