The Dazey Place - A Glimpse into Rural Life during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, offers a poignant glimpse into the hardships faced by rural communities during the Great Depression. Entitled "The Dazey Place" this image captures an unassuming homestead located in the Homedale district of Malheur County, Oregon. In this frame, we see two distinct structures that were essential to daily life on this farm. On one side stands an outside toilet, a humble reminder of basic hygiene practices amidst challenging circumstances. Adjacent to it is a storm cellar—a testament to the resilience and preparedness required for survival in times of uncertainty. Lange's composition skillfully highlights not only these functional buildings but also their surroundings. The rolling hills in the background serve as a stark contrast to the struggles faced by those who called this place home. The vast expanse of plains symbolizes both isolation and hope for better days ahead. Through her lens, Lange masterfully captures not just physical structures but also intangible aspects such as economic hardship and human perseverance. This photograph was part of Lange's work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document rural America during one of its most challenging eras. As we contemplate this powerful image today, let us reflect on our shared history and appreciate how far we have come since then—while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done in ensuring prosperity for all members of society.
