Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life / VIDEO
Excerpts from the film, Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life. The film was produced and directed by Meg Partridge (1994) and is an engaging and penetrating look at a life devoted to photography, profiling the life and work of an artist who recorded some of the most evocative photographic images of the 20th century. Dorothea Lange’s artistic achievements and untiring investigations into the diversity of American life and culture are presented through interviews with her sons and assistants.
“The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects. So that no one would say, how did you do it, where did you find it, but they would say that such things could be.” (+)

“The city is being constructed by an old woman born in 1881 who wants to record all the important events in her life so that she can remember them. Each year that she has lived is designated by a street, and each week is represented by a door. The doors belong to places where important events occurred. The blank doors are for those weeks that she can’t remember. The old woman hopes that out of her memory and forgetfulness, as recorded in the streets of doors, a pattern or sign will emerge and she will one day see the story of her life. Every door opens on a small closet-like space. Only one door in each street of doors leads to the next street. It is therefore necessary to go from door to door searching for the entry door.”
—Alice Aycock, from “The First City of the Dead: The City of Doors (1914)”

One day it will vanish,
how you felt when you were overwhelmed
by her, soaping each other in the shower,
or when you heard the news
of his death, there in the T-Bone diner
on Queens Boulevard amid the shouts
of short-order cooks, Armenian, oblivious.
One day one thing and then a fear other
will blur and though they won’t be lost
they won’t mean as much—Stephen Dunn, from “The Vanishings”

“Amidst the lushness of dark green maize and banana leaves, children in southern Ethiopia are visibly dying of hunger. Ethiopia is facing a hunger crisis, with an estimated 4.6 million people in need of food, 75,000 of which are children with severe malnutrition. The heavy rain falling almost daily came in June, but too late for the first of two annual harvests.
In this nation of 66 million farmers, poor rains, soaring food prices and one failed crop have contributed to a humanitarian crisis of hunger. With food stocks exhausted, the country has once again become dependent on food aid brought in from elsewhere. - July 2008.”
