Unit 5 Activity 1

Photo by Walker Evans

In this photo I can see  a graveyard and a steel mill in the background using objective analysis. While using subjective analysis, I can see that this photograph is portraying what life was like in the 1930's. Walker Evans made this photo very effective because it's not just a picture of landscape but it shows how depressing the times were back then. It can definitely be considered art because art is a form of expressing oneself's emotion so this picture could possibly show the emotions of a photographer during the 1930's. Also, it's considered art because it's a photograph that portrays a story or event.
