EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures a significant moment in American history. Titled "Possibly: The sawmill in operation, Ola self-help sawmill co-op, Gem County, Idaho" the image transports us to a time when cooperation and resilience were paramount. In this rural setting of Gem County, Idaho during the Great Depression era, we witness the power of community collaboration. The Ola self-help sawmill co-op was established by farmer members who built this very mill themselves. Lange's lens takes us inside the bustling lumberyard where hardworking lumberjacks are engaged in their laborious tasks. The photograph exudes an air of rustic charm as men clad in work attire navigate through stacks of logs with chainsaws at hand. Their faces reveal determination amidst economic hardship and poverty that plagued many during those challenging times. Lange's composition not only documents an occupation but also encapsulates a broader concept - cooperation. It serves as a visual reminder that unity can overcome adversity even in the harshest circumstances. This image is part of Lange's extensive body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document rural life and regionalism across America. As we gaze upon this powerful piece from our nation's past, it reminds us of both our heritage and how far we have come since then. Dorothea Lange's photographic legacy continues to inspire generations with its ability to capture raw human emotion within historical context.
