ICP

Choosing a favorite exhibition between Lewis Hine, Zoe Strauss, and the JFK was a very hard choice for me, but there was only one that really made me wonder.

The Lewis Hine exhibition definitely made me think about the past. As I was looking at the photographs, I was very intrigued in the subjects. One, I kept trying to interpret what they were thinking at the moment the photograph was taken. From the serious children looking at the camera to the hard workers not even noticing the camera, I was very tenacious to go back to that time just to ask, “What are you thinking about?”

Now, to choose between my favorite photo is different. I honestly didn’t have a favorite photo in this exhibition because in my opinion, I felt like they conveyed similar aesthetics and themes (not that’s a bad thing, I just couldn’t really identify something favorable). However, I can say the photos that portrayed child labor really stood out for because of it’s honesty and intensity.

Overall, I would love to go to the ICP again when these exhibitions are over just to see the different stories that are added.
