Walker Evans is a photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Most of his work uses the large-format, 8x10 inch camera. His goal was to take pictures that are "literate, authoritative and transcendent."
I liked this photo of his particularly because there were no people in it. It reminds me greatly of old New York, and it is featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Walker Evans was all about "capturing the moment" and these two people seem to really be in their own moment. Admiring the water and the views across this bridge, these two lovers seem to be enjoying each other's company. I also like the inspiration of old New York with their outfits and style.
This is taken in Coney Island
