IT IS DIFFICULT to know now with certainty whether Evans recorded the America of his youth, or invented it. Beyond doubt, the accepted myth of our recent past is in some measure the creation of this photographer, whose work has persuaded us of the validity of a new set of clues and symbols bearing on the question of who we are. Whether that work and its judgment was fact or artifice, or half of each, it is now part of our history.

I was fortunate enough to meet Gary on a number of occasions while I was in school. I recently came across his book "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" on Blurb. Check it out and spend some time with the images and essays -- it's really special and I'm glad I found it. I'm very fond of Gary's conversation with David Freund: "More Than One: On the Display of Images in Time and Space."
