摄影师朵洛西亚．蓝吉 (Dorothea
Lange) 去世了：1965年10月11日
从1935年至1940年，蓝吉的照片使这个国家注意到那些在经济大萧条期间承受最多苦难的百姓，尤其是那些因为失去自己在奥克拉荷马州或阿肯色州的庄园，而不得以流浪到加州寻找工作的农村家庭。
「我看到，也走向这个饥饿且绝望的母亲，就像我被磁铁吸引一样。」蓝吉在谈到一张有名的照片流浪的母亲 (Migrant
Mother) 时说了这些话。她还说：「我不记得我要怎么跟她解释我的出现或为什么我要照相，但是我记得她什么问题都没有问。我也没有问她的名字或过去。她只说她只有32岁。」
蓝吉把她的照片寄给国内各地的报社，让报纸免费刊登。她所拍摄的图象很快就成为经济大萧条的象征。西元1965年10月11日，摄影师朵洛西亚．蓝吉以70岁的年龄去世。她成为美国最具影响力的文献摄影师，也成为一个传奇性的人物。
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.
