Wayne Miller

This picture was taken in a Movie Theater in the US in 1958. The photographer is Wayne Miller. Wayne Miller was born in Chicago in 1918. He served in the US Navy for some time before settling in Chicago and pursuing his interest in photography.

I chose this picture because it captured such an amazing moment. The three girls up front have such joy on their face, but as you continue to look back you can see that every other child in the picture is experiencing the same joy, all the way until the last row. I like that so many children are featured. You cant help but focus on the three in front, but then it draws your eyes back further and further. It makes you wonder what it was they were watching that could encourage such universal laughter.
