This seemed necessary once one entered the OWI period, in which the propaganda aspect of the motive is approximately equal to the totality of the motive. In the FSA years (1935 to mid-1942) I'm pretty sure the captions were written by the photographers themselves. Whether that remains the case with the '42-'43 "war effort" work of Palmer, Feininger and others remains to be seen. So whether Palmer (or Feininger, et al.), or some intermediary editor, was responsible for the later "patriotic" captions, it does seem that they become a part of the total "message" of the work as we now have it. Thus I've been trying to reproduce them faithfully and verbatim.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-13356624188459789232010-10-08T05:23:19.230-07:002010-10-08T05:23:19.230-07:00"Men scatter throughout the clouds.
