Merry Christmas

Nineteen seventy-three was an auspicious year for photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975). Evans began using the new Polaroid SX-70 camera and making color photographs, not his usual medium. Hanging Christmas Tree dates from late 1973, a sign and a symbol, vintage Evans made new.

Happy rest of Christmas, Jane! I wish you an exciting slide into the New Year (einen guten Rutsch)!

Thank you for the good wishes. My work hours have been cut these past six months, so I very much appreciate the idea of "einen guten Rutsch."
