I've been falling in love with old photography lately. I used to only really know about Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Sally Mann, etc. But now I've been researching and discovering so much more. I have so much respect for older photograhpers as well because it was probably so much harder for people to develop things during those times. I learned about "Weegee" a couple weeks ago in photography class and instantly fell in love with his work. He had a dark room in the trunk of his car, which is incredible. We watched a short video on him and I loved it. Anyways, I really like these photos by Lange:
"J.R. Butler,President of the Southern Tenant Farmer's Union Memphis, Tennessee 1938"
"Plantation Overseer and His Field Hands, near Clarksdale. Mississippi 1936"
"Ditched, Stalled, and Stranded San Joaquin Valley, California 1935"
