Photo of the Day | Dorothea Lange

What makes this image so fascinating is when you see the full contact sheet from Lange – the narrative actually opens up and really develops.
You’ll find plenty sources of the others that she took during that session of the ‘Migrant’ ….I always wondered why the FSA published and made so widely known an image that actually is really more attractive of the migrant……here she is looking slightly different

maybe a little more tired…..more worn…..did they want her to a look a little glamourous?
