[Ukens bilde] Jenteliv I dag er det jentedagen! ???????????????????????????????????????????? To barneblikk lyser mot oss, forsiktige smil til fotografen. Jentene var nok ikke så vant til å bli fotografert. Bildetittelen til Hine forteller oss at de to er «hjelpere» i et bomullsspinneri i Georgia. Og at de jobber fast. I klartekst er de barnearbeidere. En amerikansk historiker ble betatt av bildet, og ønsket om å vite mer førte til intensiv etterforskning. Jenta til høyre heter Eddie Lou Young.

A history of photography
The exhibition gives an acquaintance with the pre-photographic technologies where the idea of an image was created, then moves to the enormous breadth of experimentation and research that has led all the way to current digital images.
