James Evans | Big Bend: Now & Then
On view March 9 - April 13, 2024
James H. Evans is an American photographer who has lived in the small town of Marathon, Texas since 1988. He has dedicated his life to photographing every aspect of the Big Bend area including landscapes, nightscapes, people, animals, weather, and events for the past 35 years. The result is a vast archive of work that documents a place as it changes. Portraits of babies then men, grassland then fire, characters that are gone and a lifestyle that does not exist anymore. His two books Big Bend Pictures (2003) and Crazy from the Heat (2011) have sold out of all their printings. With the 20th anniversary of Big Bend Pictures, it will be re-released with updated images, stories, and insights. The release will coincide with his FotoFest Biennial 2024 exhibition at Foltz Fine Art in Houston, Texas.
