Episode 11 of SHOW & TELL, is a relatively quick(ish) exploration of one of my favourite photographs of all time - Damaged by the late great Walker Evans. I tried and failed to do it in under 10 minutes then I tried and failed to do it in under 15 but then, finally, I succeeded in doing it in under 20! Hooray!
But why this photo? Well you'll have to watch to find out but I promise you there's a lot more going here than you might initially think and Evans was a fascinating character who will get another episode or two sometime in the future, without a doubt.
But for now, put your feet up and take 15 minutes out of your hectic day to watch and be amazed. Maybe even pour yourself a slightly alcoholic beverage to accompany the film. You deserve it, don't you?
