Lens Day Wednesday: History
Since I suggested "history" as a topic for this week's LensDay Wednesday, I just had to play along. I've talked about the Farm Security Administration's collection of photos taken during the Great Depression. FSA hired amazing photographers to document the hardships faced by Americans during this historic era, particularly those in rural areas. Some of these photographers are not well-enough known. One of these is Marjory Collins (1912 - 1985). Project Occupant in Trailer Camp for African Americans tending his Victory Garden - photo by Marjory Collins I didn't find readily available biographical information about her online, so I'll have to let the photos speak for themselves. Little girl saving Sunday paper for paper drive during World War Two - photo by Marjory Collins These photos all come from the Library of Congress photo collection and are in the public domain.
