Description
"Migrant agricultural worker's family. Seven hungry children. Mother aged thirty-two. Father is native Californian. Nipomo, California" That is the Library of Congress description of this 1936 image from The Dorthea Lange archive. Lang was best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration. What struck me about this image is the age (32) of this woman. Certainly worn for 32. I colorized this image and gave it an art media "look".

A wonderful photograph by Dorthea Lange, and I like your colorization! Hard times; difficult to imagine life under those circumstances... l/f
