Assignment #1:

Go to photographer Danny Lyon's web page and click on the image next to "Grave marker in Smelter cemetery, Asarco Smelter Works, in the background. This is the graveyard provided for employees."

In two paragraphs, describe this photograph to someone who is unable to see it. Lyon's title gives you a basic description, but what does this place look like? What do you imagine it feels like to stand there? Sounds like? Smells like? Finally, why do you imagine the photographer took this photograph? What might its significance be? Also, why do you imagine the title of the photograph is so long?
