Photography has come a long way since the death of Mathew Brady. Today every part of life has been or is being photographed. One famous photographers of recent times is a woman-Margaret Bourke-White.
Miss Bourke-White did not intend to be a photographer. She took pictures while in college to earn money. She began her career by photographing big factories and construction jobs. This kind of photography has remained her first love all her life. She sees great beauty in the common sight of a building being constructed or a bridge crossing a river.
As a young girl, Margaret Bourke-White even photographed the inside of a steel factory. It is not unusual today for a woman to be inside a steel factory. But at that time, it was very unusual.
Throughout her life Miss Bourke-White has seen the world through her camera. She has visited all parts of the world. She has taken pictures of poor countries and rich countries, ordinary people and famous people. In her work, she has flown over the Arctic, crawled (爬) into gold mines, and-like Mathew Brady-photographed a war-World War II. Now she hopes to go to the moon for pictures.
