Through the Lens of Walker Evans

Walker Evans is, I think, most famous for his photographs capturing life during the Great Depression across the US.  However, during that time he also took many photographs related to the circus, and these almost gritty black and white images are exactly what I think of when I think about the atmosphere of this show.  I guess you could say I'm aiming for a black and white photograph come to life in full, sparkling color that the audience can walk right into.
Here are a couple of Evans' images.  All of his images belong to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art (click the link to view them in the online database).
