Dorothea Lane

 i like this picture that Dorothea Lane took because it captures a lot of interesting subjects. The car the women on top of the car, the hills, the road,and the plants. I like the lighting in  this picture and i like the soft shadow under the car. i also like how the door is open and you can sort of see the back seat of the car.  But over all this is a nice picture. It makes me want to go back and time and live back then.

I find this picture interesting in a lot of ways. It kind of shows history in this picture. Its a an easy story to understand.  This boy looks like he has been hard at work for his family and is finally getting to sit down and relax. These photos were taken in the time of the great depression. When kids as young as him had to go support his family with the smallest wages. Just to have bread on the table. i feel the emotion of his surrounding and him in the picture. i think it represents the hardships and it can get the attention the viewer.

This is the most famous picture Dorothea took in her whole life. It is called Migrant mother. It was taken during the depression like most of her famous pictures. This one stood out the most of all. The worried look in her face, the light and shadow defining it. Her kids looking for comfort from their worried mother. All aspect of what makes this picture so great. It captures the emotion of families in this time period and puts it and one picture. The clothes the dirty qualities. the bone structure exemplified in the face and hands represents hunger. There so many details in this picture that make it so great and that's why it is a amazing picture. i cannot find one thing wrong with it.
