The Resettlement Administration, Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information in combination produced the largest documentary project in history. Over 100,000 photographs were taken, covering all aspects of life. This project enhanced the reputations of established photographers like Walker Evans and Ben Shahn, and it launched the careers of Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks. Less well known photographers also captured scenes of American life that are moving, dramatic and evocative. This volume features the work of two of them, Ted Jung and Edwin Locke. Jung's small portfolio includes scenes of rural poverty captured with remarkable sympathy and respect for human dignity. Locke, who spent several years as personal secretary to Roy Stryker, who headed the documentary projects, also accepted a few assignments, and captured the beauty of New England, as well as the plight of African-American flood victims in Arkansas.
