Born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1874, Hine was briefly employed as a factory work before attending college (first at the University of Chicago and later at the Ethical Culture School in New York City) to study sociology. In 1903 Hine bought his first camera, apparently with the intention to use it as an instrument of social awareness and change.
Thus began the career of one of America's most well known and celebrated photographers, Lewis Hine. 37 years later, it ended.
Hine, for all his critical and political success, had also angered the great capitalists of the U.S. As a result, he had great difficulty actually earning money from his photography. In 1940, only eight years after his biggest success, Hine was made homeless by his inability to meet his house payments. He died ten months later in extreme poverty.
Come discuss this incredible photographer and his incredible career in the Sunday Salon.
