Final Reflection
Dorothea Lange
'Migrant Mother' Dorothea Lange
>I see simplicity. Dorothea didn't need bright lights and colors to bring eyes to her subjects. She just need her camera.
>I think her intention is to bring light to the topic of immigration and how hard it is.
>When I look at the photo I see a poor mother taking care of here kids.
>The lack of color makes the image more dramatic, it makes it seem more impactful?
>The mood given off is very solemn, sober, melancholy...
>I don't really see anything else besides a mother trying to take care of her kids. It does seem that they are waiting for something though...
>I picked this photo because it was one of the first pictures that I saw.
