Fifth and Wall Street: Skid Row, Los Angeles in the 1970s
Photographs by Michael Hyatt and Charles Pavlich. Text by Gray George.

Photographers Hyatt and Pavlich met in Big Sur, California in 1968. Quickly discovering their mutual interest in photography, both gravitated to documentary projects on Skid Row related to alcoholism in their mutual family histories.

Organ Pipe
Organ Pipe: Life on the Edge
by Carol Ann Bassett / Photographs by Michael Hyatt

Deep in the heart of the Sonoran Desert lies an oasis of ebony mountains, golden poppies, stately saguaros--and the organ pipe cactus, "a prickly octopus turned on its head." A terrain where one learns to pay attention to the details: the tracks of a sidewinder in the sand, the tiny eggs of a cactus wren, the flash of a vermilion flycatcher against the azure sky. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument lies in southwestern Arizona on the Mexican border. It is an isolated park that for Carol Ann Bassett has long been a place of solitude--a silent refuge where she often camped out alone to capture the natural rhythms of the desert.
