Dorothea Lange's was an amazing photographer that captured many points of view during the depression. She photographed many people, including the photos above, and really brings a sense of what it was like during this time frame. I chose her as my photographer, because like me, she is interested in capturing critical and important moments in today's life. She furthermore has inspired me to involve myself more with what is going on around me, and to take photos as a record of what daily life was really like during this day in age. To me, her photos hit a spot inside me that really makes me grateful for what I have. I have a house and I have the luxury of going home at night, having a hot meal and shower, unlike the women in the first photo I have selected.

What I like most about Dorothea Lange's photography is the fact that she can capture a crucial moment in history and really send you a message through her work. Also I like how even though she didn't have a high quality camera she was still able to produce intense and amazing photos. But I think overall what I like most about her work is how she uses the light. I love how in her photos she uses the light as a key element, and also as a message kind of in her way. The way she sets her photos so the light is in them says to me that even in the darkest and terrible situations that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and that things will get better.

I have learned a lot about how Dorothea Lange takes photos. She takes a very serious situation, captures it, and then leaves it as a record of what life once was. This has inspired me to start bringing my camera with me everywhere i go so that in case i see something that is crucial to life today, i can also capture it like she had. Also, i have learned to use light in my favor. Light is probably the most important key in taking a great photograph, and if you use it correctly, you can also send a much deeper meaning to your viewers.
