Backstage at the "girlie" show at the state fair. Rutland, Vermont, September 1941. Reproduction from color slide. Photo by Jack Delano. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. I chose this image because of the place that it was shot, I also enjoy how he uses the bright light to show what appears to be the heat of summer.
Hay stack and automobile of peach pickers. Delta County, Colorado, 1940. Reproduction from color slide. Photo by Russell Lee. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. I chose this photograph because of the massive size of the pile of straw it was amazing the amount of labour put into their daily lives.
M-4 tank crews of the United States. Fort Knox, Kentucky, June 1942. Reproduction from color slide. Photo by Alfred T. Palmer. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. The history of this photograph is what caught my eye, to most this would just be a photograph that was meant to be in a photo album but to someone that connects with it it is much more.
