Taken by Lewis Hine.
Found this photo from http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/

I chose this photograph because it caught my eye when I noticed kids were running the machinery. I chose it, because I like the tonal range, and how old the photograph is. Old photographs inspire me, I think because a lot of old photographs show life so differently than how life is today. Everything was so real, and raw. Its also sad, but its revealing the truth. It corresponds with the direction I want my work to go into because photojournalism is telling a story, and capturing what is real, and revealing it for people to see.
