This image entitled "Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange is one of my favorites. Lange is best known for creating images from The Great Depression. The reason for this being one of my favorite pieces of work is because of the raw emotion. I admire Lange for capturing the essence of this woman and her life. At this time in American history many were suffering from severe poverty. It is important that we remember this time in history in attempt to not have these issues occur again.
