Walkers Evan approach to Photography was pretty interesting to me. With him taking pictures of the riders with out them having any knowledge of it was a smart idea. The photos showed a feel for actual riders which I believe was the whole purpose of it. Although some of the riders would look directly at the camera which took away from the natural feel to it, there was still a feeling of reality. The photos have a lot in common with todays riders. Some of the photos are exactly what you see on the train today. People reading newspaper, people talking to one another, children. the one that stuck out the most to me was the photo where the man and woman were looking directly at the photography. They looked scared, or like they suspected he was up to something. Also some of the riders were some what daydream or thinking. Today everyone is in their own world as well. Nothing has really changed much from then until now. The only thing that has really changed is how they dressed. I actually really liked this Subway Portrait by Walkers Evan.
