It’s interesting to look at the photographs that Evans has been taking. These photographs are shows that the real side of people, because people may put out different poses when they look at the camera. In addition, it’s very realistic that tells different stories from each rider that have been photographed. It can tells by their emotions, the way they dressed and the things they do in that time. However, we can see some of faces were kind of awkward, it appeared maybe because the subway train was new to them in that time period and they saw different new faces and don’t know how to react. For example, some riders looks unsecure while they seat to the person they don’t know. Some were reading the news paper, like some of people do in today society. Also, I think Evans was captured very well of each rider. Because it shows that many riders were not looking at the camera, meaning Evans was hiding his camera while taking the photographs, and these photographs are still can express the purpose of his photography.
