Capture the feeling....The Great Depression

I notice that in my past blogs that I have been doing a lot about the beauty of painting so I decided to do the beauty and emotion of photography of the Great Depression. The Great Depression started right after the "Roaring 20's" as they called it, the exact date is October 29, 1929 also known as "Black Tuesday". This was huge all over across America and brought everything down; taxes, personal income, prices and profits. No one could do anything about it because no one had money. Farmers and miners even had it worse because of the conditions of the weather that they were having a hard time doing anything at all epsecially with Dust Bowls in action( Dust Storms would arise in random times and they would literally rip out the crops that the farmers). People from other states especially Oklahoma started to migrate to California in search of work, of course it wasn't much better in California but people were desperate and California had somewhat of jobs that people could get at least something. ONe of the Many photographers that captured the hopelessness that these people felt was Dorothea Lange, who was very famous for her shot of Migrant Mother, which shows a picture of a mother thinking endlessly about something while the 2 of her 7 children rest on her shoulders but your not quite sure what which is the real beauty of this picture.
