Social Graces
The Writer's Almanac had a tiny segment on Walker Evans for the Saturday, November 3rd edition. He wanted to be a writer until he picked up a camera and discovered how to narrate with a photograph. I was compelled to find out more about him, his photography, and his life after seeing some of his photos. I found a few hefty books at the library and started with The Hungry Eye. The photos are stunning, especially the raw portraits and graffiti. People knew how to dress with style back then, when everything was in black and white.
P.S. Thank god for the Works Progress Administration and the Farm Security Administration (even if FSA was directed by a foolio in the first degree [boo Stryker & idea of plenty]). For without WPA & FSA we wouldn't have these photos that document the human experience and help us make sense of this world.
