Walker Evans was a great photographer who never really had his due. He worked for Farm Security Commission to document the effects of the great depression. After his work with them, he later went on to publish a book, "Let Us Now Praise Great Men", which followed the lives of three farming families. This documentation led to the peak of his career. I enjoy his subject matter, and his use of the camera, the angles, and tones. I think it really captures the period of the depression, and the hardships that must have been felt by everyone.
