To see this photograph for me is impress me a lot  how the picture is taking. Working on NYC subway and taking  picture for him it was something that he love to do a lot. This picture that is with two people on the train for my is amazing.  People back then look very different from now people reading or looking around. Back then people don’t smile at the camera. For me is almost the same from now and back because  in the subway people are reading, talking, looking around. the only thing that is different from now and back then is people is only on their phone. It’s sad for me the Evans didn’t publish his photo when he took because his photo expresses something else  that people can see if they look very closely to the photo.

Walker Evan captured pictures that I adore. The best photos capture true emotion and these photos do just that. Walker photographs many people and all of their facial expressions are stoic, emotionless and serious. Not much has changed from the time these pictures were taken. Present day, the majority of the people on the train have one facial expression and its usually the one that makes others know that they don’t want to be bothered. Who knows where those in the photos were headed or what they were talking about, but it’s probably the same thing people do now. Everyday, thousands of people ride the New York City subway, rushing to get to their destinations, which is probably what the people in the photographs were doing. Also, Evan’s photos reminded me of the images taken with Human’s of New York. Although Evan didn’t gather statements from these people, he did photograph the people of New York City. Each photo documents a person, someone who is most likely forgotten by now.  However, because they were captured in these photos, they live on. It amazes me to know that these people lived here at one point and took the same routes we do.

Walker Evans photographs are very unique in my opinion.Here we have a photographer thinking outside the box and not taking staged photographs, but rather taken people pictures in their natural element with no warning.I find it interesting how so little has changed.In the photos seen here , you see people either reading papers, talking or starting off into the distance.When you compare that to today’s society it is almost the same.You still see the same kind of people who are wearing their taught a on their faces, you see the people who are reading their daily paper and to add on you see the young-ins who cannot stay out of their phone.The fact that Evans did not publish these photos as soon as he took them also shows the kind of artist he is.He took his time and years to observe every aspect of over 600 photos before he decided to publish.
