Quote of the Day

"Life, for people, begins to crumble on the edges; they don't realize it."

- Dorothea Lange

Her ultimate effort came when she was dying of an inoperable cancer of the esophagus, in reviewing her life’s work, preparing a retrospective exhibit for the Museum of Modern Art. Her one-person show would be only the sixth dedicated to a photographer and the first ever for a woman photographer. Despite her painstaking work in selecting images for the exhibit, she would not live to see the finished result. She dies 10/1/1965, at age 70, shortly before the Museum of Modern Art retrospective opened to widespread acclaim.
