- Caption
- This photograph, produced by Tom Zetterstrom for the New Thing Art & Architecture Center, foregrounds a group of children experimenting with a camera – both subjects and creators of the image. The New Thing was particularly focused on education in the arts at a grassroots level, running workshops and, as advertised in the calendar, a summer program for children in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Presented with the Langston Hughes poem, 'Youth,' the artboard reimagines the childhood experience of summer in the city.
