"For his part [Walker] Evans, in 1934, compiled a list of of picture categories as a way of clarifying his own ideas about what he was trying to do in his work:
People, all classes, surrounded by bunches of the new down-and-out.
Automobiles and the automobile landscape.
Architecture, American urban taste, commerece, small scale, large scale, clubs the city atmosphere, the street smell, the hateful stuff, women's clubs, fake culture, bad education, religion in decay.
The movies.
Evidence of what people of the city read, eat, see for amusement,
do for relaxation and not get it.
Sex.
Advertising.
A lot else, you see what I mean." -Walker Evans
