EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Russell Lee in 1940, transports us to a barnyard in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image showcases the Caudill family engaged in their daily routine of milking cows. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression and its hardships, this snapshot captures a moment that speaks volumes about resilience and determination. In this scene, we see a man and woman sitting side by side on wooden stools as they skillfully milk two cows. Their weathered faces reflect years of hard work under the southwestern sun. The presence of a curious calf nearby adds an element of innocence to this otherwise arduous task. Lee's lens beautifully captures not only the physical act of milking but also offers insight into rural life during that era. This photograph is more than just documentation; it is an intimate portrayal of human connection with nature and animals.
