    Is she wearing basketball-type shoes?
  • trialsanderrors said:
    Dorothea Lange had a bit of a reputation of being able to make herself invisible as she was taking pictures, so it's not much of a surprise that this picture doesn't quite the attention as her actual work does...

  • technogeo said:
    The name on the partially visible footlocker (or trunk) stored at the back of the station wagon reads: "Capt. P.S.T -" This would have been Capt. Paul Schuster Taylor, whom Dorothea married in 1935.

    "Paul Schuster Taylor (1895-1984), an Iowa-born economist, graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1917. He served as a Marine captain with the Second Division, American Expeditionary Forces in France from 1917 to 1919. At the end of his military service, he resumed his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a Masters degree in 1920, and a Ph.D. in 1922."

    The vehicle in this photo is a 1933 Ford V-8 Station Wagon (now called a "Woodie Wagon"). The sheet metal was painted Mountain Brown; the wood was finished natural with Spar Varnish. There was only one spare tire, mounted on the right-hand side in a welled fender. Note the single windshield wiper (driver's side).

    Curtiss? Looks a lot like the original curtiss with floats!
  • flickrdownldr said:
    The single narrow float points toward Curtiss (or a copy thereof) - not all of the various versions were well photographed and there is at least one I know they had no photos of in the books on Curtiss I have read.
  • Stig Jarlevik said:
    As said, Curtiss never seemed to use such a V-strut arrangement to attach the central float Stig

What plane am I? Tractor Pusher
