| "Subway Series" Walker Evans |
After documenting Depression Era of America, Walker Evans took photographs of subway riders over a period of 3 years, from 1938 to 1941. He took the photographs with a camera hidden in his coat. I love how his series represent members of different races, cultures, and styles. Each person holds intense and various expressions, as if they are in deep concentration. Although they are in such tightly-closed areas, these subway riders always manage to put up with each other, despite their differences. I also loved how the pictures are arranged, equally distanced and horizontally long. All the portraits were also taken at very similar angles!
