Date of Birth: 1874
Date of Death: 1940
Lewis was an American Sociologist and Photographer. His photographs helped changed the labor laws. In 1907 he became the photographer for the National Child Labor Association.
His own experience-in a furniture factory, a bank, a retail store, thirteen hours a day, six days a week for a miserable four dollars in wages-colored his entire existence and filled him with a passion from which he could never escape. That was why he started documenting Child Labor
I rate this photo a 7/10. It’s just not that interesting to me. It is just so posed and there isn’t much happening in the foreground or the background. However, I do wonder what the significance of the objects there holding have to them, and if there is a reason they hold the rifle that way.
