» ChrisyWynThomas - Dorothea A brilliant autobiography. I don't know much about photography, but I find your site very interesting and have actually subscribed.-- posted by ChrisyWynThomas » bbleigh - Re: Dorothea In response to message posted by ChrisyWynThomas:Christy, Thanks for stopping by. I have always enjoyed Dorothea Lange's touching photographs and have tried to incoporate some of her ideals in my own. You have a great site and I love stopping by there to checkout your latest articles. Thanks Again! -- posted by bbleigh » grimaceb - Artist to artist As a playwright/music director/composer, I'm one of those people who doesn't know anything about photography, but who knows what they like. Of course, as a fellow artist, I'm sensitive to a lot of things in a photographer's (or other artist's) approach that sets him or her apart.I'm delighted to have found your page. Photography is one of those things that has always interested me, but I've had little exposure to outside of collecting headshots and resumes. And this in spite of the fact that my mom's fiancee is a professional photographer. Excellent article. Thanks so much! -- posted by grimaceb » bbleigh - Re: Artist to artist In response to message posted by grimaceb:Thanks for stopping by and I am pleased to hear that you liked the article. I hope that you will check back often and join in the discussions. I think it is important in any kind of art to study those who have gone before you. I hope to do several other Artis t Profiles in the coming months. Thanks Again for visiting. -- posted by bbleigh » Renie_Burghardt - Dorothea Lang Wendy, what a great article!

Dorothea Lange was an extraordinary photographer. She worked so hard to overcome so much. I think the legacy she left to us is that in all the sadness, there is always a greater truth. Sometimes what we see with our eyes, we really need to see with our hearts. -- posted by bbleigh » Sunbear - Dorothea Lange Extremely well-written article on her life and times. You write very succinctly and get to the point. Very sharp writing; I admire it.Thanks for informing me about this artist.Those were such great times for b&w photographers and the artists working in the medium were so talented and so humanistic. Their humanity shines through their photography. Talking about Weegee, Bresson, Luce, etc. -- posted by Sunbear » bbleigh - Classic B&W Thanks Tom for the kind words. I have always loved the classic black and white photos and do most of my photography in b&w.B&W requires the photo to be very strong. The textures, lines, and themes must stand on there own. I look forward to doing more Artist Profiles in coming months. Thanks for all your support. -- posted by bbleigh » greenireland - Re: Dorothea Lange Hi. We're doing a project on Dorothea Lange. We were wondering if you could help us answer some questions we had.1. What, specifically, did she do during the Great Depression? 2. Are there any people could we talk to, who knew her or knew people who were involved with her? 3. And any general facts that might help us. Thanks a lot!! -- posted by greenireland » carz310 - Dorothea's job Hello. Im doing a research project on the Great Depression but I am also very interested in B&W photography in high school. I was just wondering if you know what company or what the government called her job. I cant seem to find it. Please email me at carz310@yahoo.com.Thanks. -Carlee E. -- posted by carz310
