The Whispers Series is a photographic
exploration of architectural earthquake survivors. At 5:12
am, April 18, 1906, the ground beneath San Francisco began to shake. The result was devastation
on a massive scale, with a loss of life that is still being
debated today. But among the survivors were a handful of
homes, businesses, and government buildings. As I spend time
at these amazing structures, I always wish their walls could
talk. I have no doubt that their stories of life and death,
joy and pain, celebration and tribute would fascinate us all
as much as their beauty does.

"Michael
Evans is a master of light, but you'd expect that from a fine
photographer. What makes his work amazing, though, is the sense of
balance, the perfect poise in every shot, and above all, an
understanding of quiet, which is as much a quality in the visual
arts as it is in any other. A lion, a gargoyle, a door, a window
-- all come to life in his black and whites. They breathe, and
they pulse with a very special intelligence."
Howard W. French - author, photographer
