- I've always found this picture rather poignant...
Migrant Mother 1936 This California farmworker, age 32, had just sold her tent and the tires off her car to buy food for her seven kids. The family was living on scavenged vegetables and wild birds. Working for the federal government, Dorothea Lange took pictures like this one to document how the Depression colluded with the Dust Bowl to ravage lives. Along with the writing of her economist husband, Paul Taylor, Lange's work helped convince the public and the government of the need to help field hands. Lange later said that this woman, whose name she did not ask, "seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me." - I've always found this picture rather poignant...

- I've seen this image before, each time I long more and more to go beyond it, if only for five more minutes of this poverty stricken, tattered woman's eyes. What happened to them all, where was the father? Could hope ever return to her sullen irises? Did the babe in her arm perish? How many succumbed to the beckoning fingers of death in those dust bowel years? If you had asked this nameless, timeless face what she wanted most in that moment, what would she have told you? ----- Migrant Mother 1936 This California farmworker, age 32, had just sold her tent and the tires off her car to buy food for her seven kids.
