Lewis Hine

I have decided to do my powerpoint presentation on Lewis Hine. In the early 1900s he took pictures of child laborers to help raise awareness of child labor in our country. The pictures that he took helped bring about the Federal Wage and Hour Law in 1938. I was drawn to his pictures because they tell such a haunting story. I feel like I can look in the children's eyes and see their pain and suffering. I liked how Hine used his pictures as a powerful tool to facilitate social reform.

Shed some light on the subject...

I took this picture of my dog Tessa in our living room. She is laying on the edge of the couch, it is her absolute favorite place to sit. Unfortunately when I first took this picture I cropped it and did not save the original (big nono) Anyway, when I cropped the picture, I basically cut out some of the background and her body to the right. I think it makes it a more interesting picture since it is zoomed in on her face. I used the fill light and color temperature to make the picture more real looking. I also used the shadow tool to bring out the details of her fur. I really like this picture. She was my first pet after being married, so she was my first 'baby'. I am such a dog person!
