Margaret Bourke-White was an early photo journalist who took many historically and artistically significant photos around the world. She was born in 1904 and died in 1971 from Parkinson's Disease. I chose this photo because of the historical significance of the campaigns of women working in the fields as well as the shapes created by the rakes and hay.

I believe the photographer took the meter reading on the sign so as to have a good range of grays while having the silhouette of the man and the foggy effect of the light. If the reading had been taken on the man he would have appeared lighter and with more detail and the rest of the image would have become more blown out around him.
