Walker’s Birthday

Today, November 3rd, is Walker Evans Birthday.  (1903-1975)

Evans is quite arguably one of the greatest photographers in the history of the United States.

“Photography isn’t a matter of taking pictures,” he often remarked. “It’s a matter of having an eye.”

So tonight, I offer a tribute to ol’ Walker…..  Oh to have your eye.

(Camden, Ohio.  2010.)

His obituary appeared in the NY Times, on April 11, 1975….   His Obit (if you are interested).
