This picture got my attention because of the little boy crying. I can tell that he has lost someone important to him, and i know exactly what that feels like. Its not the best feeling, but who ever that person was to this little boy, made something big in his life.

Imogen Cunningham.

Imogen Cunningham

Cunning ham was born Portland, Oregon in 1883. In 1901, at the age of eighteen, Cunningham bought her first camera, a 4x5 inch, from the American School of Art in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She soon lost interest and sold the camera to a friend. It wasn’t until 1906, while studying at the University of Washington in Seattle, that she was inspired by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Käsebier, to take up photography again. With the help of her chemistry professor, Dr. Horace Byers, she began to study the chemistry behind photography and she subsidized her tuition by photographing plants for the botany department.
Cunningham continued to take photographs until shortly before her death at age ninety-three on June 24, 1976 in San Francisco, California.
