Photographer: Dorothea Lange
Description: "This photograph of Florence Owens Thompson, a thirty-two year old mother of seven, is one of the most significant representations of the Great Depression. This photo was taken immediately after Florence had sold her tent to provide food for her children."
I chose this photo because I think Lange captured Florence at a moment of extreme vulnerability, yet this does not show on her face. Florence's expression here is somehow strong despite the desperate circumstance she was in, which makes for a very telling photograph.
