Publisher Henry Luce gave Americans something they had never seen before -- a glossy, large-format news magazine which used photographs to tell its stories. Never one to think small, Luce called the magazine quite simply, Life. Henry Luce always had a fascination with what he called "picture magic". To introduce his new magazine to the world, he wrote an essay which described the many powers of photography. "To see life. To see the world. To watch the faces of the poor, and the gestures of the proud. To see strange things. Machines, armies, multitudes, and shadows in the jungle. To see, and to take pleasure in seeing. To see and be instructed. To see and be amazed.

Dorothea Lange was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration. Lange's photographs influenced the development of documentary photography and humanized the consequences of the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange photographs old black and white pictures similar to the photograph shown, some her pictures have people and some don't like this bird hanging on a barbed wire fence with its wings spread apart. Almost all of her pictures are black and white and they often portray an old time farm type scene, the pictures she takes usually show poor conditions and non-city life. For example the picture below shows a woman with two kids faced away from the camera as if they were shy with dirty clothes and looks like they have been clean in a while.
