Walker Evan was a great photographer, and also his style of taking pictures of passengers on the subway during the great depression was brilliant, in my opinion it’s something that no one has done or thought of. What i like about his photos is that each one of them is totally focus on the face, and by the looks of it they all look serious and overwhelm, and to top it off all of the photos he took he had his camera hidden. People didn’t realize they had their photo taken, so to me that’t make made his photos naturally, and i guess you could say emotional as well because this was during the great depression so no one was happy around that time. I don’t see any similarities between the depression era to today’s riders because most of us are either in our smartphones, or reading a book. What i see are people sleepy, and energetic so its much different in today’s society.
