i've always been a fan of gordon parks, walker evans, dorothea lange and the other farm security administration photographers, so i was pleased to see the depression era in color...

bound for glory is a set of lovely photos in color that just really make the time period seem personal, more than just a part of america's history at large.

Bound for Glory: America in Color is the first major exhibition of the little known color images taken by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information. These vivid scenes and portraits capture the effects of the Depression on America's rural and small town populations, the nation's subsequent economic recovery and industrial growth, and the country's great mobilization for World War II.
