“Our mission from the beginning has been to supply high-quality fresh foods to food banks. Eggs, being such a great source of protein and vitamins, are something we wanted to incorporate,” said Tammy Graeber, who transformed two acres of land she inherited into a garden to feed the needy.
The Florence Griswold Museum devotes a trio of galleries to the exhibition titled “The Exacting Eye of Walker Evans,” breaking down different aspects of his photographic life. The first gallery zeroes in on the pictures he took when working for the government’s Farm Security Administration in the mid-1930s. They showcase how he developed his style and subjects – how he found the beauty in the commonplace, with his upfront portraits and his photos of roadside signs and decaying architecture.
As for his photography style, Evans described it as lyric documentary. What that meant, Burdan says, is trying “to capture a scene, an object, a portrait – but also to do it in a beautiful manner, in a manner that could be inspiring, that could convey emotion, that could convey the mood of a scene, in addition to reporting what it looked like. In a way, he was reporting what it was like to him, his interpretation of the scene.”
“We partnered with the horticulture program at Monroe Career & Technical Institute — the students grow our 7,000 to 10,000 seedlings every spring — and we’ve made alliances with Northampton Community College’s students who do service learning hours here,” Graeber said. “The Garden of Giving is growing and we’re still trying to help people in the recession.”
“Being that age, the seriousness of the whole thing didn’t dawn on me,” he said. “We couldn’t imagine that stuff as kids, and stories didn’t come out until after the war.”
Throughout the war residents had to black out the windows of their homes at night. Car headlights were painted black – except for a tiny strip of light which was hooded by a small piece of sheet metal.
