Dorothea Lange (1895 – 1965) created many classic portraits when she worked for the Farm Security Administration during the great depression in USA. The archives of Library of Congress, FSA-OWI Collection holds around 4 000 photos by Dorothea Lange. I decided to look them through and I want to share some of my favourite portraits by Lange with you. - Mr Urbano

great photos! the myth of "America" is that prosperity came from hard work...well, yes, but it came from slave labor and cheap labor.
