  1. The moods and emotions that have came with these photos would be dark and peaceful. Some ideas that i could use from these photos would be to take pictures in good environments with good views.

  2. These images are compelling because they capture everyday life, and feel more natural and living. Most symbols he plays with are either signs or cars. The signs usually show what the subject is supposed to be, and the cars show how alive or dead the photo is. The mood in these photos is very spontaneous and candid, and not really heavy. These photos make me want to do street photography, and try and tell a story with it or try and portray the passage of time.
