A fun, feel-good gallery of literary drunks and addicts from the Life Archive. Two that are important to the photo world:
Charles Baudelaire is responsible for a few writings to with photography. I enjoyed reading “On Photography” from his “The Salon of 1859″. Also check out The Painter of Modern Life.
James Agee paired up with Walker Evans to produce the book “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men“. Buy it HERE.
There are plenty more derelicts to check out in the Life gallery HERE.
