The email from last week

Here is a link referring to some of the works from Lewis Hine. http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/ and http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/art/photo/hinex/empire/biography.html
1. Was was a sociologist and photographer
2. He took famous Empire State Building Construction pics ( I am sure you all have seen them)
3. Did alot of work bringing to light child labor laws and abuse of child labor
4. He would follow emigrants from Ellis Island to Lower East Side Manhattan and document journies
5. Used photography as a means of social reform
6. Tried to document man and machine working together and their relationships

Photo Secessionists
1. Led by Alfred Stieglitz they were a group of photographers that sought to break away from the orthodox approach of photography.
2. What was important was the manipulation of the image by the photographer/artist to achieve a subjective vision
3. It helped to raise awareness and standards for "art" photography
4. Attempted to elevate photography to a fine art, moving it further away from the realm of painting
5. Selected individuals

So, tomorrow morning, I will post my few pics that I choosen and all of the info that goes with them.

BTW-I really hope that I am doing this correctly as I have not used this Blog before. I suspect that it may take a time or two for me to get the hang of posting pictures. Speaking of that, do I just cut and paste them into this text box for all to see?
