I think it was greatly executed, the whole idea of the subway riders not knowing exactly what was going which enabled Evans to capture a natural emotion. Some of these emotions that the people had were blank, confusion, emotionless, and hopelessness. Although Walker Evans was able to capture these photographs and expressions in secrecy, it would be quite difficult to the same action in todays time especially in a New York City subway. People take pictures with their phones and at some point one or more persons would realize what is going. Oftentimes people tend to forget to turn off the flash on their phones thus making it obvious. Also, New Yorkers are angry people, if they see you taking pictures of them they will want to fight you and if they see it on social media or wherever, there will be a greater conflict. There are similarities between the riders then and now for example there are readers on the train, people who looks stressed etc…
