dorothea lange!
1. Dorothea Lange
2. 1895 - 1965
3. Dorothea was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. However, she began her career in the great city of New York. Later in her life, she packed up and moved to San Francisco, California where she opened a studio in 1918. During the great depression, she went from photographing in the studio, to photographing the streets. Documenting some of the most terrible times for all of America. Her interest in photographing the homeless was noticed quickly by the government and she was hired a part of the Resettlement Administration, which was later renamed the FSA.
4. The importance of the work of Dorothea was that she brought the poor and forgotten to public attention. She gave her images, free of charge to the newspapers and her shocking images quickly became icons of that era. Her contribution to photography was that she was photographing events for more than just taking pictures, she was trying to get a point across. She was trying to make people in the cities realize what some people were going through. The problems that some people were experiences while others were sitting in the comfort of their own homes.
5. I think that Ms. Lange's pictures are very noble. I think she was photographing for a noble cause which makes me appreciate her photos so much more. Her photos have a lot of emotions behind them and it is evident by the subject's faces. In the photo "Migrant Mother" you can see the struggles and pains of this women's life by the ways her eyes are. I also like the fact that all her pictures are in black and white. It adds dramatic effect to all of the pictures. I think when pictures are photographed in black and white, they show soul. These pictures are really really interesting to me because I am an active participant on Project HOPE, I have had many interactions with homeless people and for some reason these pictures really hit home with me.

I'm gonna give all my secrets away!
Shh by Donora
Press Play!
This is my spin on the portrait project . In the description of this project on the website it says that the photographer should work to capture the subject's identity. I believe that a secret shows the identity of a person by revealing one of the most personal things about them. I asked some friends and some strangers to share some of their most personal feelings with me, and everyone else viewing these photographs. I think a secret says something more than the naked eye can see. It most definitely captures the subject's identity by showing the viewer what is going on internally. This collection of pictures is a reminder to me that everyone has a story, and everyone has gone through something that has changed them. It is also a reminder that you shouldn't judge people if you don't know them. We all are going through the same things and we all experience the same pains. I really got a lot out of this project. More than just mastering the skills on how to take the perfect portrait photograph. I was able to relate with some people I knew well and some people I knew hardly at all. This was a very humbling experience for me.
Everyone has a burden,
what counts is how you carry it.
