Photographs for Portrait Day Yeah

This a photo taken by Dorthea Lang. It is the migrant mother. I love how you can see sadness of the era. The great depression was such an important time in history. You see how she is in the make shift tent with her children, probably starving and obviously thinking on the hardships she is facing with her children.

 

This is a piece of semi local history. I love that this family is standing in front of their house just outside Miller Grove. They are the Mooney family and the photographer is unknown.

 

 

Speaking of Miller Grove this is the Miller family whom the town was named after. Isn't is interesting that the men are seperate from the ladies.

Just love this photo by Charles C. Ebbets. Where do you think he was standing?
