__Subject Frame:__ This photograph gives me a feeling of friendship and happiness and i think that is what Duane Michals was trying to get across to his audience. This photograph reminds me of friends just meeting up with each other, catching up and having a good time, the first four frames of this series gives off a feeling of seriousness as the last four show happiness and a feeling of joy and feeling relaxed with the company. The audience who see's this series would feel the comfort shown in the actions of the two men in this image.

__Structural Frame:__ Duance Michals uses lighting in his images to show a passage of time, especially the black and white in the "two old men talking" this shows the passage of time in the elderly mens friendship. The body language of the to men in this photo gives of different feelings in the converstation they are having. in the first four photographs you have a sense of seriousness and the second half you feel happiness and comfort. These photographs come together to make a story which is evident and understandable to the audience. Duane Michals used the coffee cup as a symbol of friendship and catching up with friends for a good time.
