| Walker Evans, 1937 |
"Stare. It is a way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long" - Walker EvansI love documentary photograph.
I like peering into someone else's life without them knowing. Call it voyeurism. Maybe, I'm just "anthropologically-inclined." Regardless, I had to get off of Facebook several years ago.
As previously mentioned, I'm taking a Coursera class on Art History (yes, get ready for lots of art-related posts), and we reviewed some really eye-opening work last night by some documentary greats (by, "we", I mean myself and my macbook air in bed).
It's amazing how a photograph can make me feel reminiscent, even nostalgic for a life I never lived.
