| | HOMAGE TO WALKER EVANS
One of the best known photographers of the Farm Security Administration during the 1930s was Walker Evans. Among the varied subjects for his camera were the advertising signs of the day. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery perhaps Evans was influenced by such photos as seen above in an image we call "The Exterminators". Taken in San Francisco around 1910, the 1906 earthquake must have disturbed the rodent population providing a great business boom to those in the exterminator business. Below we see Evans' famous photo "Love Before Breakfast" taken in Atlanta, Georgia in March 1936. Who can say that his work was unique? Perhaps unique for the period in which he worked, but influenced by earlier photographers. See more images in our Streets of San Francisco collection.
