Looks like the dessert table

i did a series of paintings from this photo( and other russell lee shots) last summer. not only are these pictures beautiful but they add insight into the hardships of the dustbowl and depression. it is great that the library of congress is doing this.

My girlfriend and I drove through Pie Town, NM, on Rt. 60 on December 29, 2008, which was just before I stumbled across this series of photos. We had just left the VLA Observatory and were on our way to Meteor Crater, AZ and I only managed to get one photo: To be honest, I didn't even know the place existed until seeing it on the map while driving but was thrilled to see these wonderful photos soon after passing through. Plus, I'm happy to actually see pies in the Pie Town photographs!

People will say how unhealthy the food was back then...but you don't see obese people in these photos. Could it be this was a time before our food was injected with so many chemicals?

could it be that they couldn't afford to eat regularly?

This is one of my favorite Russell Lee photos.

Pie Town, I want to move there. What a beautiful photo.

Stunning work 💚
