Dorothea Lange; Sam

This picture shows a family of five during the depression. Dorothea Lange really captured something in this picture by just showing the emptiness in every way. The first thing that stuck out to me, even before seeing the despair of the family, was the vast space behind them. It was like looking at a small flower in a large field. I love the way Lange set up the picture, having the girl in front just look like she'd rather life not go on anymore. The tent has so many rips and tears and not to mention they don't even have a side on one of their tents. The picture makes me think about so many things and gets me thinking about everything it has from just the open suitcase to the baby nursing on its mother. Life for some people was/is actually what life is like in some places.
