This article by Time magazine (where he worked as an editor from the 1940's to the mid 1960's) shows several images taken by Walker Evans from the 1930's that are diverse in subject matter and composition. On this site I came to understand how the irony that makes Evans' photography so remarkable. This site is useful in exploring this image because it provides other images to compare and contrast.As well as providing a glimmer of an understanding into his personality.

This site reports the the correlation between the income gap and mortality rates. A chart is available revealing the life expectancy change in the last 20 years of the 20th century, including the difference between the life span of men and women. Cause for the financial separation in the U.S. isn't identified, but some ideas are that "Lower-income people are more likely to not have health insurance..." and "Smoking has declined more rapidly among people with greater education and income". In the appearance of the man in the photo, I definitely make the connection with him and not having poor health care and habits.
