EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the Ellington Lumber Company mill located in Keno, Klamath County, Oregon. The image captures a significant moment in American history during the Great Depression era. The composition of the photo highlights the industrial nature of the lumber mill with its towering chimneys billowing thick smoke into the sky. This visual juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural surroundings evokes a sense of both awe and concern. Lange's keen eye for detail allows us to witness firsthand the economic hardships faced by many Americans at that time. The dilapidated wooden building stands as a testament to an industry struggling amidst recession and unemployment. The presence of logs scattered around further emphasizes this struggle. Through her lens, Lange not only documents but also raises awareness about environmental issues. The pollution caused by factories like this one is evident through the dark plumes of smoke filling the air. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at a cost to our environment. As we gaze upon this striking still image from America's past, we are transported back to an era defined by resilience and perseverance. Dorothea Lange's legacy lives on through photographs like these which continue to inspire reflection on our nation's history and encourage us to learn from it.
