Photos That Matter To Paul E. Evans

For What It’s Worth:
These Are the Photographs of My Life

Here is the photography the life of Paul E. Evans, that is, those photographs that I have been able to salvage. To me, right now (May 7, 2011), it was just absolutely important to me that I put these “out there” — perhaps for a lost love to see, but expecially in honor of my own family, whom I failed to appreciate properly when things were O.K. in my life. This page has photos of my family, and there is a second page which you can access here that has photos of me, Paul E. Evans. Read about me and my rather remarkable family here.

Let me just say that, suffering as I have all of my adult life from mental illness, my experience of life resembles somewhat that of an Asperger syndrome autistic person. I don’t feel like a schizoaffective/schizophrenic/bipolar type guy…I’ve always been rational and pretty sane and high functioning. I have not “fit in,” have never had much success socially or with women, and my life has not been very successful in general, in terms of the ways most people measure success.

In all honesty, I actually think that my lack of success in life is more about a severely broken heart in college and a downward spiral that I later suffered out of sheer loneliness, as well as some bad luck, than it is about mental illness. At this late time in my life, at age 54, I am trying to pick up the pieces. I do want to say thank you to the kind women I have known in my life, and to anyone and everyone who ever showed me a kindness. But let’s get to the photos:
