I am not Walker Evans. But his photography has had more of an impact on the way I see things and how/when I click that shutter than any other artist out there. I was fortunate to be able to catch the huge show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art back in 1999. I was in school down in DC and I went back home to NY for a weekend to take in the show and write a report on it [I got an A]. That guy was just awesome.

The shot above and this flickr set is a quick walk I took last night on my way to meet Lady after her final summer class. Shooting from the hip, half the shots automatically metered, the other half manually set, these are the kinds of hazy images I see walking through this city. The flickr set has no post processing so the colors and contrast aren't exactly where I'd like them to be, but a final edit will be posted [in addition to the one above] on my dedicated photoblog in the coming days.

All shots taken with a Nikon D70 and Tokina 12-24mm f/4.
