It’s amazing to see some pictures that had been taken in the subways. It looks so unique but sad to me. Because those pictures has been taken in great depression time, and those riders expressions says all. They had some unhappy,scary faces which doesn’t looks good to any viewers. I do see similarities between today and great depression time riders. The similarity will be both period of riders don’t smile in the subway. Even though nowadays people are all busy with their cellphones and other stuffs. They don’t care whats going on in the subways most of the times. But that great depression time people having horrible time. There were no reason to stay happy. Even though back then people used to be so energetic and friendly with a unknown person.So Evans took some excellent portrait to show their expression in great depression time, which doesn’t look good to me.
