At seventy, Evans was divorced again, broke, and recovering from illness. Fame and photography were contained in small career retrospectives. Then he bought the new Polaroid camera, the SX-70, which produced instant color prints. Although designed for entertainment and portraiture, Evans was reignited, challenged by "the toy" to return to and renew his art and his primary concerns: down-home architecture, interiors, roadside signs, and, yes, portraits. Evans didn't live to see this final collection of his published. 
 
"The secret of photography is, the camera takes on the character and the personality of the handler. The mind works on the machine - through it, rather."
