Describe the composition used in this piece. Where was the photographer located during the shoot? Do you think this shot was planned? Why or why not? What does this image represent to you?

This photographer looks to be located in some sourt of an ally way. I think this shot was planned by the photographer but was taken unknown to the subjects. The people seem to be oblivious of the camera becuase they are going about their business. This image represents carelessness to me. Not to about the photographer, but about the people in the photograph.

The photographer was hiding out in maybe and alley, or right outside of a doorway of an apartment building maybe? I think it was planned to take random subject matter and see how everything turned out after the picture was taken. it just so happened to turn out nice. I don't think the photographer had any brainstorming in particular, just wanted to take a random picture. Kind of like me. But yeah, it turned out cool.

The photographer seems to be located in a door way to some building. I think the photographer planned to shot the people walking, but I don't think the passerby know he's photographing them.
