This is a picture taken by Dorthea Lange. She was a famous photographer who humanized the consequences of the Great Depression in her photography. She was also one of the important members promoting documentary photography. I like this picture because it shows pre-Japanese interment camp life for children in our country. I think it is important to remember how our country had interment camps for Japanese people.

This is The Tetons and the Snake River (1942) that Ansel Adams took. I found it on Wikipedia because they have many desirable free pictures. I chose this picture because I had heard the name Ansel Adams thrown around some this past summer and I sort of remembered why he was important. He was one of the big promoters of the National Park system and helped get it going and helped to build interest in it. Without him and his pictures who knows where the National Parks would be now. I really like him because he helped get people interested in the outdoors which I am very interested in and try to promote to people as well.
