  1. Memorable photos. The photographer is new to me (I took a look at the wiki, also).

    1. I've been posting photos by Hine for some years, becoming a big fan of his work. I thought it commendable that he worked over many years to try and end child labour and get them into school.

    2. I probably saw his work before, then, but his name didn't stay with me. Yes, admirable that he had such an impact.

    3. I thought that was the case, Jonathan.
