Portrait of Tōyō Miyatake, 1943. During the period of Japanese American internment, Miyatake was interned at Manzanar War Relocation Center in Owens Valley. He smuggled a camera lens into the camp and constructed a camera body from wood. The pictures he secretly took at the camp are the only ones that show the plight of U.S. Citizens detained in the camps during the war.
