Three Boys Behind Barbed Wire
- Title
- Three Boys Behind Barbed Wire
- Description
- Toyo Miyatake captured the uncertainties and lack of freedom characteristic of life in camp in this well-known photograph. The first-generation Japanese American photographer fashioned his own camera in camp to document the experience. Initially barring him from taking photos, the camp administration eventually permitted him to do so. He became the official camp photographer at Manzanar.
