Robert Frank: I like Franks work because it has a very patriotic feel. The one of the flag has really good contrast between the dark and light values. The one of the woman behind the window has a happy mood in my opinion. And the one of the bus makes me think of being a kid again and how much fun I had. Overall he used black and white for all his pictures and I think that creates a cool mood. Eugene Atget: I think his photos have a really cool feel to them they all feel like they were from a long time ago. They are all of some sort of public building like a Library or restaurant. His are all in black and white and I think it gives it a kinda scary mood to it. I think that these pictures could be part of a really old black and white gangster movie. Bruce Gilden: All of Bruce's photos have a strong emphasis on people in public. The one of the old lady she looks like she wants to kill him its kind of funny. The one of the whole group of people has a happy mood because the guy is making a silly face. The one of the guy is kind of mysterious, it looks like he just saw something very weird. All of his pictures are black and white and it makes them look like its night time.
