This photo draws to me in a number of ways. At first glance, I looked at the picture and thought its main focus was a couple of children attempting to play and have a good time during a time that must have been impossible to enjoy oneself. But after looking closely, I realized that these children were not playing, but were actually working. This photo was taken by Levis Hines. He is very well known for his photography of Americas youth being worked to the extreme. He wanted people to see what was happening to these children and how they were being forced to grow up at such a young age. This photo really makes me appreciate the sacrifice that all my relatives have made in their lives. Whether they lived through the great depression or WWII, the respect I have for them and their sacrifice is enormous and this picture reminds of that. Sabita M. Photography Blog.
