Walker Evans’ Subway Portraits

After looking at Walker Evan’s photographs, I find myself wondering if things had really changed between now and the past. The people of today and then share similar facial expressions. Most of them are not smiling and minding their own business just like today. Althought they were taken during the depression, people then and now still have their own worries and problem. They have to go to work day after day on the same train at the same time. I find Walker Evan’s clandestine way of taking photograph is the best way to do it. It captures the true emotions of the riders.
