As part of a class on place-based audio, I made this sound-designed audio guide for an exhibit of Walker Evans photographs at the Portland Museum of Art. Evans was one of the most prominent photographers of the Great Depression. I wanted to capture what it was like for him to quite literally shoot a scene.

Start the audio at the link below, then come back here for the photos.
