In Dorothea Lange's photo of a girl holding a barbed wire fence while her mother stands, out of focus, in the background, the bokeh has a substantial impact on the photo. Im not sure what type of camera she used or even if the bokeh in the photo could be consider good, but in the end it is important for the mood of the photo. You have to see the photo in print to get its full impact but it is the 5th one from the top on http://thecity.sfsu.edu/pacific.pix/WEBPAGE/dorothea3.html . David Degner Would the original negatives or prints of this photo be held by the Library of Congress? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
