State Szarkowski’s Mirrors and Windows thesis in your own words.

Then use the mirrors and windows metaphor to compare and contrast the two photos by Crewdson and Winogrand. Consider which is a mirror and which a window? Use your observations of the photos as evidence. Each claim you make must be supported by something you can see in the photographs. Compare and contrast the two photographs using the Visual Elements vocabulary. Find at least four points of comparison in order to clearly define each photographer’s style.
