Haunted

I feel haunted by this photograph by Walker Evans, I am thinking about it all the time, I can't seem to get it out of my mind. The image is of the Fields family, Walker made it on their farm during the depression era for the Farm Security Administration.

I need to do some portraiture of this style when I am photographing the Burmese migrant labour/refugees in Mae Sot Thailand.

Walker Evans: Bud Fields and His Family, Hale County, Alabama, Summer 1936.
