This photo has a lot going on . There a range of different shops and people are walking around. Theres leading lines that go down the road. The triangle is between the man who's looking down at the people and back to the women a bit further away from him. Vivian Maier uses a lot of black and white in her photos when she's takes photos on the street . It makes it look different and much better. Its shows loads of people walking and doing what they want. The buildings far away are blurred out and look quite fake and blurry which makes it look better.

This image shows a building that is burnt down and it shows a bunch of men standing around watching the people put the fire out. It makes one of the men look like he's peeing onto to the building. The building that is burnt makes the images behind stand out and makes it look better. The black and white goes well with the image the burnt building is white but with burnt bricks and the buildings are white which stands out at the whole of the image.
