ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mike Brodie

Well, Mike Brodie is a very interesting person who gained a lot of attention for his photography! He was actually born in Arizona in the United States and grew up in a place called Pensacola. When he was a teenager, he decided to hop on some trains and travel all around the country!

While he was traveling, he started taking pictures of all the people and places he saw. He became really good at it and eventually had his own photography book published called 'A Period of Juvenile Prosperity'.

What's really cool is that Mike would use old-fashioned cameras that you couldn't just take a picture with and then see it right away. He would take the pictures and then wait to develop them to see how they turned out! That takes a lot of patience!

So, even though Mike Brodie might not be a household name, he has made a big impact in the photography world and his work is really cool to check out!
