Dorothea Lange
Dorothea Lange: The Photographer Who Found the Faces of the Depression | Carole Boston Weatherford
3 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
Before she raised her lens to take her most iconic photo, Dorothea Lange took photos of the downtrodden from bankers in once-fine suits waiting in breadlines, to former slaves, to the homeless sleeping on sidewalks. A case of polio had left her with a limp and sympathetic to those less fortunate. Traveling across the United States, documenting with her camera and her fieldbook those most affected by the stock market crash, she found the face of the Great Depression. In this picture book biography, Carole Boston Weatherford with her lyrical prose captures the spirit of the influential photographer.

#LetsTravelJuly Day 4: The story begins by showing how Dorothea Lange felt largely like an outsider when she was young due to her childhood polio. It took a failed marriage, a stock market crash, and finding a kindred in an Economics professor for Dorothea to finally understand what she is meant to do: tell stories through her photographs, particularly portraits of people from various walks of life in the #USA.
