“Our image-saturated present day deluges us with pictures, and the gestalt effect of innumerable fading pictures can strip them of meaning. ‘It’s one of those things that when you’re not looking for them, you don’t see them anywhere,’ Mr. Lyon said of the murals. ‘Then all of a sudden, once it’s your focus, they appear everywhere'”

Mark Lyon, 2009 Portfolio Prize Runner-up, is featured on the New York Times Lens blog.
