Artist statement:
I am an artist/activist who's been documenting the immigration crisis on the Arizona/Sonora border since 2002. That year I began noticing the dramatic increase in migrant deaths in Arizona and became aware of humanitarian efforts by HUMANE BORDERS & SAMARITANS to save innocent lives. I began volunteering with them and for NO MORE DEATHS when it formed. Thus I am able to directly participate in life saving efforts and continue exercising my passion for documentary photography inspired by my mentors Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and Russell Lee. Their compelling photographs in the 1930s & 1940s showed destitute American migrants struggling to survive. That work helped change public sentiment & government policies. It is my hope that the photographs and information in this calendar will inspire social action leading to humane immigration policies that eliminate suffering and death along the migrant trail.
Since 1968, Michael Hyatt's work has ranged from street photography in Boston, Los Angeles, Mexico and Ireland to documenting the performances and backstage activities of prominent punk rock and roots rock bands in Los Angeles from 1980 to 1986. After moving to Arizona in late 1986, his camerawork focused on a variety of subjects including the U.S./Mexico borderlands. For twenty years from 1987 to 2007, Michael also hosted the country roots radio show Route 66 on KXCI, Tucson. In 1997 he began producing the critically acclaimed Classic Railroad Songs series for Rounder Records.
