The photographer Thomas Holton got my attention with his photography. The Lam’s of Ludlow Street was really heart warming. The photograph that got my like was the 8th picture in his album. In this picture its sort of like a point of view picture. It makes you feel as if you were in the room with this family. The mood of this picture feels really warm and it makes me feel tears of happiness in a way. Because i can relate to this family in many ways when i was growing up.
i feel that this picture was really framed well. He captures the whole room making you see how they live, and it brings a heartwarming feeling of the meaning “family”. The contrast of light and dark is really light in this picture. it tones up the picture because its also warm. it makes you feel that this family cares about one another, and also another reason is because he includes the mother in the picture as well. Making it so that there’s someone always keeping an eye on them.
I love this series because however poor the conditions where the family lives are, their love for each other and the strength of their family makes it ok. The photo you selected is a great example. That the kids have to take a bath in the kitchen doesn’t seem so bad as mom is right there.
