There are many iconic photos from the Depression, but “Migrant Mother,” the Dorthea Lange photo of the woman with her children is one that most have seen, perhaps. I’ve always loved that photo. I was looking at something else and just happened to see this link and wanted to share it before I clicked off it: [Girl from iconic Great Depression photo: ‘We were ashamed’](http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/12/02/dustbowl.photo/index.html?iref=mpstoryview) ---

Hopefully this isn’t as much of timely reminder as it seems (says the guys sipping his french press coffee typing on his multi-thousand-dollar-high-speed-internet-connected computer.)
