Migrant Mother

“I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.”- Dorothea Lange

Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly

hate. ~Dorothea Lange~

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

~Dorothea Lange~

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us

nothing more than what we see with our own

eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us

to see. ~Dorothea Lange~
