Lewis Hine (1874-1940), American photographer who was a pioneer in the field of documentary photography.
Lewis Wickes Hine was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and worked at a succession of menial jobs as a young man. He studied sociology and education at the University of Chicago in 1900 and 1901, then moved to New York City to teach nature study and geography to children at the progressive Ethical Culture School.
Hine’s success with portraits of workers led in 1930 to his most important commission—documenting for its promoters the construction of the 102-story Empire State Building in New York City, which for years was the tallest building in the world.

 NYPL, Photography Collection, Hine: Empire State Building
Lewis Wickes Hine (1874 -1940), photographer, sociologist and humanist, is best known for his insightful portraits of immigrants at Ellis Island and his unflinching views of housing and labor conditions in the United States.
Hine began documenting immigrants arriving and awaiting processing at Ellis Island around 1904 and then followed these immigrants into the teeming tenements of the Lower East Side in Manhattan.
The worker was always a favorite theme of Hine's and he believed that the emerging modern technologies of the 1920's and 1930's would lift the burden of hard labor from them.

The commission was only partly completed; Hine mounted the earliest series uniformly with typed captions on dark gray board (which accounts for the unusual appearance of some of the photos presented here); and chose photos for the later series, but died in 1940 before preparing the latter group for library use.
Hine was drawn to Ellis Island and the "new immigration," a contemporary term for the waves of newcomers arriving from southern and eastern Europe and elsewhere.
Hine's interest in child welfare and the social conditions of the American industrial working class followed naturally as he became immersed in the reform movement, which grew with the rising social consciousness of his time.

LEWIS W. A staff member for the National Child Labor Committee from 1906 to 1918, Lewis W. Hine traveled the United States, camera in hand, to document children at work in sweatshops, in slums, in factories, and on farms.
Over a thirty-year period, Hine's photographs were used to advocate for legislation against the exploitation of children and, in 1938, were instrumental in convincing Congress to include child labor reforms in the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) was founded in 1989 as the first university-affiliated institution in the United States dedicated to documentary fieldwork as an interdisciplinary mode of inquiry, drawing upon photography, filmmaking, audio, oral history, folklore, and writing as catalysts for education and change.

These photos Hine took of a delivery boy are becoming two of my favorites, although they've led me on repeat trips to try to get my photo right (which I'm still not completely happy with and may update this week...
In Hine's original photo, it looks like there may be another building on the left hand side, but when you magnify this photo, that fl area looks like a big smudge.
If I were to guess, though I don't know much of anything about photography in Hine's time, it's probably the blur captured from passing cars "zooming" behind Abe on Tremont St. If you notice, there's just a portion of a back wheel from another vehicle visible on the very right edge of the photo.
