Mr. Hine

As I mentioned in a previous post, Daughter #1, Gillian, and I went on a museum crawl last weekend. I already spoke about one artist I have always liked, Mr. George Copeland Ault.

There is another that Daughter Gillian and I had fun discussing, because he had such a rich eye for his time and place: Mr.
Lewis Hine. Not only a keen eye in photography, but Mr. Hine had a keen sense of "right" for the common man, the common employee, and the pathetic child laborers of his time. He took time to study and interview and photograph these "kids".

I am going to post some of his photos - and keep in mind, these are wonderful photos before the time of Photoshop and whatever. These are "realtime".
