“A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera.” - Dorothea Lange
Dorothea used her camera to document the hardship facing American citizens during the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Dorothea used her camera to show America to show how hard people really had it, to make them open their eyes and see the world in a different light. The boy in this photo has misery written all over his face, even today you can still see the hardship that people during the Great Depression faces because of Dorothea's photographs.
