For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource New York Tenements Subject The topic of the resource Photography Description An account of the resource Jacob Riis' <em>How the Other Half Lives </em>was one of the first works of photojournalism. His photography revealed the horrible conditions of New York tenements. This photo illustrates the cramped, dirty condition of a New York tenement. I chose this photo because it is one of the most popular photos from Riis' book, but also because it is moving.<br /><br />The longer one looks at the photo, the more people seem to "appear" in it. This is a small space, and there are more people than can possibly fit into it. It is also clear that this room is not clean: everything seems coated in a layer of dust and dirt.<br /><br />Riis' choice of angle is also interesting. Photography is often praised for its unique and interesting way of showing something, but Riis chose a modest, normal camera angle. It is as if the viewer simply walked into the room and saw it at eye-level. This choice makes the viewer really think about the fact that these people actually lived in these conditions. It is not a piece of art. It is a depiction of something real.
