Lighthearted Kids in Merrill FSA Camp, Klamath County, Oregon, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken by the talented Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, we are transported back to a simpler time. The image captures a group of children at the Merrill Farm Security Administration (FSA) camp in Klamath County, Oregon. Despite the hardships faced by their families during this challenging period in American history, these young ones exude an undeniable sense of joy and happiness. Set against the backdrop of a tent city that served as their temporary home, these children remind us of the resilience and spirit that can be found even in times of adversity. Their carefree expressions and playful gestures speak volumes about their ability to find solace amidst uncertainty. Dorothea Lange's keen eye for capturing human emotion is evident here as she beautifully portrays childhood innocence against a backdrop of economic struggle. Through her lens, we witness not only the individual stories but also gain insight into the collective experience of those affected by the Great Depression. This powerful still image serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for hope and happiness. It stands as a testament to both the strength of these lighthearted kids and to Dorothea Lange's remarkable ability to capture raw human emotions through her photography.
