What was happening when the picture was taken?
The little boy in this photo wears an expression and a hat that are both about 30 years too old for him. He looks directly into the camera, apparently unalarmed even though the camera and the photographer are obviously looming over him. The angle of the photograph, taken from an adult height, emphasizes the boy’s small size and his vulnerability. “By shooting this youngster without much environmental detail, I wanted to invite the viewer’s sympathetic interest in him, from his curious gaze to his gracefully crossed hands to the poverty betrayed by his cheaply made, broken shoes,” wrote photographer Jerome Liebling. (Documentary Photography, 1972)
Work into pairs.
Each pair will be creating a photo essay about a subject that, is the “truth.” This photo essay will include at least five photographs with captions.
What issue, event, location, person, movement, etc. is worth documenting?
What images would help to capture that issue, event, location, person, movement, etc.?
Choose a subject from poverty, race, politics, pollution, war, terrorism, education, farm life, various careers or jobs, coming of age, etc. or come up with your own.
Once you have agreed on the subjects, research existing photographs.
I encourage you to take notes on the kinds of images you find, and to answer the following guiding questions.
How has the issue, event, location, person, movement, etc. been captured to date?
Which images are most effective? Why?
Which images are least effective? Why?

Add captions
Do one of the following:
Add captions automatically as you insert tables, figures, equations, or other objects
1. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Caption.
2. Click AutoCaption.
3. In the Add caption when inserting list, select the objects for which you want Microsoft Word to insert captions.
4. In the Use label list, select an existing label. If the list doesn't provide the correct label, click New Label, type the new label in the Label box, and then click OK.
5. Select any other options you want.
6. Click OK.
7. In your document, insert the object (Insert menu, Object command).
Word automatically adds the appropriate caption and a sequential number whenever you insert one of the objects that you selected in step 3.
8. If you want to add more text to the caption, click after the caption and type the text you want.
Add captions manually to an existing table, figure, equation, or other object
1. Select the item you want to add a caption to.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Caption.
3. In the Label list, select the label that best describes the object, such as a picture or equation. If the list doesn't provide the correct label, click New Label, type the new label in the Label box, and then click OK.
4. Select any other options you want.
Note Microsoft Word inserts captions as text, but it inserts the sequential caption number as a field. If your caption looks similar to {SEQ Table \* ARABIC}, Word is displaying field codes instead of field results. To see the field results, press ALT+F9, or right-click the field code and then click Toggle Field Codes on the shortcut menu.

This is a picture of a boy who is pour.
In real life he doesn’t have a family and he lives in a foster home.
This picture is taken for an advertisement for a cheap daily newspaper.
The boy is lost. There is a car on the photograph. The car is black and it belongs to the police. I would give this photograph the title “A pour boy”. He doesn’t have a family and it’s very little. The kid started crying when the photographer took the picture.
The photographer like to say “the other people to fell sorry about that kid”.
The kid is wearing very old shoes and a torn dirty shirt.
A photographer took this picture for the next day newspapers. The kid’s mother and father were killed and the policemen captured the kid.
The face of the boy looks very sad. The boy is between 9 do 12 old.
