Dorothea was photographing for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documenting the appalling rural conditions created by the Great Depression, and she relied on Ron to drive her up and down the back roads of California.
Dorothea was in her 40s, with clear gray eyes, short-cropped hair, and a limp from childhood polio.
By the time Ron was working with Dorothea, she was divorced from her first husband and married to Paul Taylor, an economist at the University of California-Berkeley with views similar to her own.
Dorothea Lange’s public life as a “Photographer of the People” was defined by her personal experiences as a child and adolescent.
Dorothea Lange commented wistfully, “Nobody knew who I was, what the color of my existence was, but there I was.” Her comment referred directly to her years in school.
At age seven, Dorothea contracted polio, leaving her with a lifelong limp in her right leg; at age 12, her father, a successful lawyer, abandoned his family, never to be heard from again.
