It was also one of the first books to use photographs instead of engraved illustrations, which were the standard for images in all forms of print at the time. "Jacob Riis is the true Grandfather of Photojournalism," proclaims bestselling author Lorenzo Domínguez. "Although film publicists have purported that Henri Cartier-Bresson deserves the title, he was not born until 1908, 18 years after Riis published How the Other Half Lives, a best seller that helped establish photojournalism as a true profession." In addition to pioneering socio-documentary photography, Riis was also a notable muckraker, a leader of social reform at the advent of the Progressive Era and a personal friend of President Teddy Roosevelt, who wrote in his 1913 autobiography "my whole life was influenced by my long association with Jacob Riis, whom I am tempted to call the best American I ever knew." Also an award-winning New York City street photographer, Domínguez recently restored, edited and published a new edition of this American classic, which is also now available for Kindles, iPads and most smartphones.
