The photographer I chose for this assignment was Winston Vargas. He mainly photographed people in the streets during the late 1950’s all the way up to today. I like his work because he captures important yet everyday moments, usually people don’t know he’s taking a photo. He currently resides in New York City.
This photo was taken in 1959 in New York City.
Photo #1:
I chose this image as my main because it represents the daily life on campus. I walk this way every day so I get to see the amount of people that walk through here every single day. Most people aren’t paying attention and are more worried about going to their next class.
Photo #2:
This image is similar to the first one and it’s in the same area. Old main in the background makes the photograph feel older than it is since it’s such a prominent builiding and we all know it’s very old. I wasn’t able to capture more than one person at this time.
Photo #3:
This photo was unexpected but I loved how it turned out. This person looks like they are waiting for something, just relaxing. I did walk by him and he had his eyes closed like he was sleeping. Having his hood up makes it seem like it’s very cold out when in fact it was quite warm and sunny.
