Pie Town

I just discovered depression era photographer Russell Lee's photos of Pie Town, New Mexico. I'm sure I've seen some of his photos before, but my art history class didn't spend much time on photography and when we did, it was Dorthea Lange. There is an interesting 2005 Smithsonian Magazine article on the photographer and the town. Pie Festival, anyone? I think these images are fantastic. I love looking through the Library of Congress and other public collection photo pools on flickr.
