Description
Colorized photo from 1937 June
Original Title: Ex-Tenant farmer, now a day labor on a large cotton farm
Photographer: Dorothea Lang
Location: Near Corsicana, TX
The original was quite dark, hard to say if he had strong sun on his hat and that's why his face is dark, or it was just the film she used. I brightened the face and added a new shadows under the brim. I also replaced the old clouds, it was too hard to tell if it was solid cloud or partly cloudy. The device he's using should be called a Furrow trail plow, and they came in a few colors, though most are rusty looking (probably used as a lawn decoration).
He's working in a farm that grows cotton, they said he lost his farm probably due to the depression and or dust bowl, and he works for someone else now.
