Gordon Gaul

I started photography after getting out of the Marine Corp in 1970. I had always been a strong admirer of Depression-era photographers Gordon Park, Walker Evans, and Dorothea Lange and their impressionable work documenting the effects of the Great Depression. I felt compelled to capture the world as they did - to quote Walker Evans - in a "literate, authoritative, transcendent" manner. I graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 1982, with a focus on Photography and Film Making.
