Migrant Mexican children in contractor's camp at time of early pea harvest. Nipomo, California
#Mexican #Nipomo #California #SanLuisObispo #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange
![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two children standing in front of what appears to be a temporary or makeshift shelter, possibly made from canvas. The older child, who seems female, stands with her hand on her head as if shielding herself from the sun or wind, wearing a simple dress that reaches mid-calf length. Beside her is another young child, likely male, standing barefoot and appears to be holding something in his hands which he gazes at intently.
The setting suggests an outdoor environment possibly during work-related activities, indicated by their informal attire and the makeshift nature of their surroundings. The presence of numbers on what might be a tent or temporary structure could imply organization or classification within this context. No clear indication of specific locations is provided beyond mentioning 'Nipomo,' which may refer to Nipomo near San Luis Obispo in California.
The photograph captures a moment that seems candid, likely taken during the day given the shadows visible on the ground and under their clothing. The overall condition indicates simplicity or lack thereof, possibly reflecting socioeconomic conditions at the time of its capture.

![The image is a black and white photograph featuring an older man seated on what appears to be a bench. He has short, graying hair with a serious expression as he looks off into the distance or at something outside of frame.
He's wearing a collared shirt that seems slightly worn, indicating it may have been used for manual labor tasks such as farming. In his lap and in his hands are two white chickens; one is being held close to him while the other rests on its feet near his knee. The man has a gentle demeanor towards the birds.
The background shows part of what looks like wooden panels or fencing, which suggests that this photo was taken outdoors, possibly at an agricultural setting such as a farm or poultry yard.
There are some visible text overlays in white letters across the top and bottom edges of the image, likely indicating copyright information. These include "COPYRIGHT ©1938," suggesting it is from around 1938, along with various symbols that indicate digital manipulation (like "start" and a camera icon). Additionally, there's an alphanumeric code at the very bottom: "6495b860ba25398d90c50706," which could be used for cataloging or referencing purposes.

![The image is a black and white photograph of an older male figure standing outdoors. He wears wide-brimmed hat, which appears to be made from straw or some other light material. The man has stubble on his face that looks well-groomed rather than scruffy.
His attire suggests he's dressed for the work environment; he is wearing a button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves and over it, a jacket fastened at the collar which appears to be made of a heavy fabric suitable for outdoor labor. His jeans are notably frayed around the knees suggesting frequent use or exposure to rough terrain.
The man has his hands tucked into pockets that seem well-worn; they could indicate regular manual work. The ground beneath him is uneven and looks like dirt, possibly indicating an agricultural setting. In the background, there's sparse vegetation which suggests a rural landscape likely indicative of farming land.
There are no other people or identifiable structures in view to provide context for his location beyond being outdoors, perhaps on a farm given the field worker title associated with this image.
The photograph has been framed within another picture frame that contains inscriptions. The visible text indicates it's part of an archive and references someone who is presumably related—implying familial connections through generations possibly reflecting rural labor conditions in California during a historical period, likely between late 1 [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/332/345/939/192/092/original/03e4436f19caaf11.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph of an older male figure standing outdoors.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals, presumably from an earlier era given the style of their clothing. The person on the left appears to be female; she wears glasses, has dark hair pulled back under a broad-brimmed hat, and sports a textured coat that suggests practicality over fashion during challenging times or seasons.
The individual on the right seems male, with short-cropped hair receding from his forehead indicating age. He is dressed in what looks like work clothes - possibly for laborious tasks given their rugged appearance – including a dark jacket and shirt.
Both individuals are seated closely together against an indistinct background that provides no contextual clues beyond perhaps being inside a building or near one, suggested by the presence of what appears to be a door on the right.
The overall tone is somber; the expressions, though not fully discernible due to resolution constraints, do not suggest happiness. The image captures a moment in time with each subject seemingly absorbed in their own thoughts, conveying an air of solemnity and perhaps economic hardship given historical context often associated such images from early 20th century America.

![The image depicts a group of five young children gathered closely together outdoors, seemingly engaged in play. The child on the left appears to be older than the others and is wearing suspenders over a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, dark trousers, and shoes; they are also carrying a satchel labeled "1937." This suggests that the photograph was taken during 1937 or later in California. The children's haircuts vary from short to shoulder-length, indicative of different ages or personal styles.
The older child is extending an arm towards another child who has their hands raised as if they are about to catch a ball; this indicates active play and possibly cooperative interaction between the two. Behind them, other children can be seen with one raising her arms in excitement or surprise. The background reveals sandy ground, suggesting that the setting might be near a beach or an area where sand is common.
The overall atmosphere of the photograph feels lively yet candid, capturing a moment of childhood activity and camaraderie among these young individuals. It appears to represent migrant children playing at school, as indicated by their attire and the text in the image which references Tulare County and Farm Security Administration (FSA) camp for migrant agricultural workers.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two men standing outdoors. The man on the left wears overalls, a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a cap turned backward, and has his hands in pockets while holding an object near his mouth that appears to be a pipe or cigarette. His stance suggests relaxation.
The man on the right is dressed more formally than the first; he dons a jacket, pants, a hat, and shoes suitable for work. He stands with one hand partially raised as if gesturing or in mid-conversation, while holding what looks like rolled-up papers in his other hand.
Both men appear to be middle-aged adults. They are standing on an elevated ground surrounded by trees indicative of a forested area, which suggests they might be away from urban settings and possibly engaged in manual labor given their attire. The landscape is open with no immediate structures or buildings visible around them.
The photograph carries historical significance as it seems related to the non-farm migrants during the Great Depression era who moved westward seeking work opportunities in places like Oregon's Gilchrist lumber mill, as indicated by the caption provided and context clues within the image itself.

![The image depicts a man standing on an elevated surface with the sky and landscape visible in the background. He is dressed in work attire, including a dark jacket, trousers, and boots, suggesting he may be involved in some outdoor or industrial activity. The most striking feature of this black-and-white photograph is that the man is holding up what appears to be a piece of fabric or material with both hands; his expression seems contemplative as he gazes at it.
The text on the bottom right corner reads "81594-F," which could possibly indicate either a date, location code, reference number for an archive collection, or another form of categorization. The overall composition and style of this photograph suggest that it might be part of a larger documentation project related to rural life, work conditions during the mid-20th century in America, particularly connected with agricultural laborers.
This image is likely associated with Dorothea Lange's collection known as "Untitled photo," which was captured by her for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) mobile camp program.
