Answer to Question 1

In the 1930s Lange traveled for the FSA taking pictures and devoted her attention to the migrants uprooted from their farms due to the Depression and drought. Her series of photographs is an example of photojournalism, through which she creates a body of work, recording and chronicling an event and its subsequent effects. Her best known image, Migrant Mother, humanized the plight of migrants and touched the hearts of the world.

Answer to Question 2

Daguerre made a breakthrough recording an image that was clear and sharp, a significant improvement to the captured image of Nipce, which involved a long exposure time and resulting fuzzy appearance. Daguerre's Le Boulevard du Temple was displayed the year the French government announced Daguerre's discovery. Although the exposure time was less that the previous process, the 10-to-20-minute exposure time didn't record the moving traffic on the busy boulevard. However, the figure in the lower left was motionless long enough to have his image captured.
