Dorothea Lange,Cross Roads Store (Person County, North Carolina, 1939
Dorothea Lange's documentation of life, the land and surroundings in America during the Great depression is truly inspiring stuff. These photographs whilst candid show great composition, timing and evoke many feelings.
I particularly like Lange's,Cross Roads Store. I think it tells a compelling story about American lifestyle within the 30's and shows a unity between the diverse races pictured.
