About Walker Evans influenced...

Somewhat curated, representative sampling of the best Walker Evansesque photos ~ those images where the photographer (& viewer)can feel the indefinable pull of the Walker Evans influence.

A ring of authenticity -- whether monochrome, toned or colored (or any photo-making medium that seems apt) -- the essence the photo exhibits should be one of direct & genuine contemplations of "the hungry eye."

Less one particular style or technique, the images collected here should bear the hallmarks of a straightforward aesthetic that celebrates the rural and the real minus affectations, or the displaced bits of humanity awash in a sea of city-life; the commonplace as virtuous, and the beauty of the everyday.

People, places & things we oughtn't pass by without stopping to admire and remember before they (and we) are gone... maybe doomed, but always full of candor.

Deteriorating & torn sign thieves of the highest (or lowest) order, assembling images of irreplaceable treasures, well-loved artifacts & haunting folks.
