Bethlehem, Pa (Walker Evans Remembered)

This year I had planned on going back. To capture the graveyards and the landscape of Bethlehem that Walker Evans captured in the mid 1930s.

Luckily I had a tilt shift lens much like what was used in the 1930s by photographers.

Here is what I found:

    Walker Evans is my absolute favorite photographer. I was assigned to do a presentation on him for my grad class and I fell in love. Great photos Mike!
