Dorothea Lange: the Newstand

I really like this photograph because of the historical value. It was taken in 1942 in San Francisco. I also like the picture itself. I liked that Lange was a documentary photographer. She had a focus and her work told a story of common people in an depressed era.

I think that the Depression was an important time for the media, the print media. I think that artifacts from this era are interesting in and of themselves. I like the lighting and the rule of thirds. I would hang this picture in my house. It is symbolic of a time that journalism was a serious business.
