I loved the use of capturing expressions during the brief time period. Evans way and use of photography was genuine in existence to me. It wasnt in a set of order nor organized. It also was something that was taken off guard it was not set up for a photograph. It was something real. Eveyone on the subway was focused on themselves heading to where ever they intend to go. As for today you would see the same thing . During train rides we all find things to do that kills time such as video game devices, books and more. This picture although shows more of the past where electronics were not as advanced as today’s generation. I beleive if a picture like this was taken today today it would be similar but include this generations electronics and new creative things. This photo captured many details such as facial expressions as well as what they were doing. it also depcits how back then they had less then now.
