This book chronicles of the
life and work of Dorothea Lange, one of America's most important photographers.
The woman behind the camera is revealed in seven essays which show Lange as an artist, woman, mother, and activist. More than 80 duotone photos accompanied by Lange's own words form the heart of this book.

Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life includes scholarly
essays and personal remembrances about Lange (1895-1965) -- the feminist
heroine, the wife, lover and mother, the photographer of Japanese internment
camps. There is also an interview with Ansel Adams, with whom Lange
worked. The most fascinating texts in the book are Lange's and that
of her oldest son, Daniel Dixon. He writes that this mother never described
herself as an artist, but as a
"witness and observer." Lange was an artist, and many of the
photographs included here bear witness to that fact.
I love researching and writing books, both fiction and nonfiction. I'm fascinated by courageous, artistic people, and ordinary people who do something extraordinary and make a difference.
