Eagle Eye

There was an image from a Walker Evans catalog that we happened upon last year that seemed so profoundly bold that we scoured the city for eagle imagery ever since. While we try to find the original image (it happens), we'll share some of what we've found so far. Eagles make for fierce symbolism; birds of prey that have the ability to soar to unimagined heights and imply hope and innate power.
