Lafeyette and Pharoah are 12 and 9 years old at the start of the book but have experienced more than many kids their age. The boys did not seem sure of what life held for them. Lafeyette told Kotlowitz, “If I grow up, I’d like to be a bus driver,” Lafeyette was not sure that he would grow up at just 10 years old (x).

The photographer I chose is William Henry Jackson. This photographer stood out to me because his photography was outstanding especially of the great outdoors.

Taking photographs may seem simple, but being a photographer is more than browsing through the viewfinder and pushing the exposure button. A photographer needs to know how to analyze the scene, speak in words that language cannot, and reach to the souls of people through a picture. During the Great Depression, many photographers captured the scenes of poverty and grief. However, there was only one photographer that truly captured the souls of Americans. According to Roy Stryker, Dorothea Lange "had the most sensitivity and the most rapport with people" (Stryker and Wood 41). Dorothea Lange was a phenomenal photographer that seized the hearts of people during the 1930s and beyond, and greatly affected the times of the Great Depression.

Photographers are always taking pictures to help them define and develop their own creative vision and do something that sets them out from the rest. Photographers struggle to express their creativity, however photographers like Jerry Uelsmann had no trouble expressing his true creativity. He not only expressed his creativity in a different manner, but he was also able to emulate the true meaning of what it means to be a great photographer. If you have ever seen any of Jerry Uelsmann’s pictures you'll see that his photographs are more described as dreamlike surrealism. Jerry Uelsmann once said that, “ultimately my goal is to amaze myself”.

In the same breath he says that ideal photography is not necessarily an idea which photographers should strive, nor does it necessarily exist. Yet, he bases his argument upon the ideal. In reviewing his paper, I’ll take a look at why he painstakingly tries to make this distinction between ideal painting and ideal photography. His argument is based upon the proposition that photographs can only represent in a causal fashion, whereas painters create representational artwork via intentional relations. Scruton manages to create a solid argument, but in the end I’ll decide it is not a fair assumption to say that photographs

Imre Kinszki a Jewish-Hungarian photographer, was born in Budapest in 1901. As a young man he began studying medicine as well as publishing articles on philosophy and politics. However in 1920, anti-Semitic laws were passed that set a limit on the number of Jewish students that could attend universities. This change prevented him from being able to complete his degree in medicine. At this time he found work with the National Association of Industrialist as an archivist. He got a camera from his wife in 1926, and his fascination with science gave him the idea of photographing with a microscope.
