“Michael Hyatt is a documentary photographer whose work exhibits more than words can express. In addition, Michael has been a leading volunteer for 17 years with Samaritans — the humanitarian aid organization dedicated to saving the lives of migrants in the Sonoran Desert. As he has hiked the hundreds of miles of migrant trails carrying life-saving water, food, and medical care, he has photographed courage, spirituality, suffering, and death in this beautiful and tragic land.” —Reverend John Fife, Co-founder of Sanctuary, Tucson Samaritans, and No More Deaths
“The human will is what’s most evident in Michael Hyatt’s photographs. Depicting the principal actors in the real life and death struggle of our time, you feel the pain, the love, the hope and faith that can only come from a deep and long–time involvement as a humanitarian. His powerful images documenting the militarism and humanism in the Sonora and Arizona borderlands are an important contribution to our history.” —Isabel Garcia, Co-founder of Derechos Humanos and winner of the 2018 UNAM Alfonso Garcia-Robles Human Rights Award
