攝影師朵洛西亞‧藍吉 (Dorothea
Lange) 去世了：1965年10月11日
從1935年至1940年，藍吉的照片使這個國家注意到那些在經濟大蕭條期間承受最多苦難的百姓，尤其是那些因為失去自己在奧克拉荷馬州或阿肯色州的莊園，而不得以流浪到加州尋找工作的農村家庭。
「我看到，也走向這個飢餓且絕望的母親，就像我被磁鐵吸引一樣。」藍吉在談到一張有名的照片流浪的母親 (Migrant
Mother) 時說了這些話。她還說：「我不記得我要怎麼跟她解釋我的出現或為什麼我要照相，但是我記得她什麼問題都沒有問。我也沒有問她的名字或過去。她只說她只有32歲。」
藍吉把她的照片寄給國內各地的報社，讓報紙免費刊登。她所拍攝的影像很快就成為經濟大蕭條的象徵。西元1965年10月11日，攝影師朵洛西亞‧藍吉以70歲的年齡去世。她成為美國最具影響力的文獻攝影師，也成為一個傳奇性的人物。
From 1935 to 1940, Lange's photographs made the country aware of those who were suffering most during the Depression, especially families of migrant farm workers who sought work in California after losing their own farms in states such as Oklahoma and Arkansas.
"I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet," said Lange when asked about one of her most famous photographs. "I do not remember how I explained my presence or camera to her, but I do remember she asked no questions. I did not ask her name or history. She told me her age, that she was 32."
Lange sent her photographs to newspapers across the country, free of charge. The images she took soon became symbols of the Great Depression. On October 11, 1965, photographer Dorothea Lange died in San Francisco at the age of 70. She left behind a legacy as one of America's most influential documentary photographers.
