Great story about the photographer Dorothea Lange on NPR this morning. She's most known as a depression-era photographer (the image everyone has seen is the one of a mom and her 2 kids, maybe the most famous image by anyone this side of the National Geographic cover of the afghan girl with amazing eyes from the 80s) but she had a long career as a portrait photographer.This reminded me that there are some AMAZING Studs Terkel interviews with regular people about the Great Depression that This American Life used to make a 1 hour show, but they posted a link to the full archive, too. If you have a bit of time to kill (11 hours), you could do a lot worse than listening to them.
