The first thing that caught my eye when looking at Walker Evans photography was that he takes pictures of things that you see every day, and makes them look so intriguing. Something that made me want to choose them was the way he sets up his pictures they look like he didn't try to set them up and also it's street photography, my favorite.
I see leafless trees, like autumn has come, and long sidewalks that never end.
I smell rain, and the outside cold.
I hear a quiet nothingness and a nobody like i've been shut out, vacant and deserted.
I taste dull, wet, shallow, boring, simple.
I feel empty, lonely, and sluggish, like the end of something and the beginning of another.
I see old, torn, rough, jagged, tousled, unlevel, wrinkly and worn out paper.
I smell strangers, people, different odors and fragrances, a variety of cultures and personalities coming and going.
I hear briskly passing footsteps, and slow tortoise like strolling, then carefree moderate paced walking, everybody going someplace or another.
I taste excitement, on my tounge ready to jump off at any given second, kind of how you feel right before a performance.
I feel nervous butterflies swarming around in my stomach tickling my guts till i'm sick.
I'd like to create some sort of biography including a short story about him and some of his greatest work maybe. Something not to "school" related so it'll stay interesting and informative.
