Today, I started off the morning with a song I had not heard before. It was called "Wake Up" by our good ol' American Hero, Woody Guthrie. A wonderfully simple song that really works. :-)


Guthrie + his handy dandy guitar

The spirit of Woody made me recall the prolific writer, James Agee + his depression era book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Perhaps most memorable by the photographic work of Walker Evans while he worked for the Farm Security Administration. It's some of my favorite photography I've ever come across.
