Walker Evans was born in St. Louis, Missouri on November 3, 1903 and attended Williams College for merely a year. He dropped out to move to New York City where he fell in love with literature and intended on becoming a writer. In 1928 Evans became interested in photography and left behind literature to become a photographer. Many of Evan's photos were of during the Great Depression in America.

The little girls eye's are what captured my attention and drew me into this image. They look like huge doll eyes.

This is probably one of Evan's most memorable photos during the Great Depression. The woman's hair is greasy and it looks like she has no teeth because of the way her lips look sunken in. What I like is all the detail in this image, especially in the pattern shirt, yet it doesn't take away from the woman's eyes.

Here is a very similar image to the last, personally I like this one more because it has more emotion in the woman's face and she looks bored of being in the Depression, unhappiness consumes this image.
