“The camera is an instrument that teaches people to see without a camera.” Dorothea Lange.
Yesterday I visited the Barbican's exhibition of Dorothea Lange's photographs. A powerful and impressive collection of 300 images depicting America through the times of the Great Depression and its devastating impact on its migrants searching a better life in California. There is also a collection of images from the evacuation of Japanese- Americans during Pearl Harbour. Although the images show a part of American history, nevertheless it made me think a lot of a certain similarity with current situations and struggles people are going through in different parts of the world which I found totally heartbreaking to think in parts things haven't moved forward. Tomorrow is the last day for those that might wish to visit.

Really enjoyed reading "Dorothea Lange Exhibition", and it gave me a useful reminder to stay intentional. It also connects nicely with Calculate Michigan paycheck deductions and net pay in one. The michigan paycheck angle was especially helpful for what I'm working on. Appreciate you publishing this.
