This picture really speaks to me. This photo shows two men walking on a dust road all by themselves. A sign to their right says "Next time, try the train." this photo is saying that these men can't afford to take the train, so they have to walk to their destination. I think Dorothea photographed this because it shows how people had to live when they couldn't support themselves. I think that maybe these men are moving or traveling to find a new job, and maybe start a new life. i can tell by their body language, (slouching) that they are worn out, exhausted, and tired. This picture is so simple, but yet, it tells a story. This photo really speaks to me because of how powerful it is. Dorothea probably wanted people to realize the story that this photo is telling.
Thanks!
