These photographs document the struggle of a family trying to make ends meet on a minimum wage paycheck. These photos are more compelling than an article by itself because it forces the reader to actual look at the difficulties these people face and acknowledge the realities that these people face everyday living in poverty.
These photographs can be compared to the photos Jacob Riis took to raise awareness on the struggles of immigrants coming to this country.
Wow! It's just proof that sometimes pictures really do speak louder than words.
ReplyDeleteWords are very powerful; however there are a lot of things that cannot even be translated into words. We go about trying to get the message out with art and pictures and this really goes to show how much can be revealed through the form of a picture.
