So not only is Walker Evans a famous NASCAR driver but he is also a famous photographer(two different Walker Evans'.) The notable photographer is most famous for his portraits/social landscapes of the south during the 1930's and 1940's(The Great Depression). His message that pulls through is the poor quality of life in the south at this time period. Also another message Evan's conveys at this time period is the racial segregation and how the "white" standard of living is higher than those of African-Americans. Evan's main goal as a photographer was to take pictures that were literal, and gave depth into the hardships of many Americans. Evans sets a great example for many great photographers who want to document a difficult scenario or time period.
