| Photograph by: Walker Evans |
In this black and white photograph we can see a graveyard with the main subject as the main cross gravesite. with the rest of the city in the background.I believe the picture creates a sad a depressing feeling about life, with the picture in back and white it creates a solemn setting for the subject. I believe the picture kind of gives the feeling that life is smaller than death. The cross in the foreground is more drawing of attention and the city in the background seems less important in comparison. Life will ultimately end in death just as this picture is portraying.
