my eyes are not shut

Drawn to people and environments and especially light, my camera is a way of recording life as I see it. I strive to create a collaborative and authentic portrait of the ever-changing strange and beautiful world we live in. This book is s collection of people, places and things I want to hold on to and remember.

Down to the River; Portraits of Iowa Musicians

"When you look at Sandy Dyas' affectionate portraits of musicians, you think you are there, in the presence of old friends, and certain that you can hear the sound of their voices." -- Sylvia Plachy, author, Self Portrait with Cows Going Home

In 1987, I moved to Iowa City and began documenting the live music scene. This book is a collection of black and white photographs of the live venues and individual portraits of the musicians I know and love. A CD of 18 tracks of their music is included.
