Another episode where I fly solo, this time taking a fresh look at Walker Evans’ seminal photo book American Photographs. First published in 1938, the book is widely regarded as a classic—not only for the photographs themselves, but for the enormous influence it has had on the medium of photography and the photobook. I revisit the images, the book, and its creator, all through a 21st-century lens.
