| Lange portrait by Paul Taylor |
Dorothea Lange took pictures of the people that needed to be seen.
She was born in May, 1895 in New Jersey.
In 1918, she moved to San Francisco & started working as a commercial photographer, but eventually began to record the people of the Japanese Internment camps, the poor of the South and migrant works in exodus from the Dust Bowl.
When she died in 1965, she left a collection of 25,000 negatives, which can be seen here at the Online Archive of California.
