FSA List Revisited

Over the past 15 years I have taught various documentary photography classes. One thing that has remained constant, is my request of students to go out and photograph one thing from Roy Stryker's 1936 FSA shooting script. In these challenging times I thought I should take my own assignment . Each week I am going out and photographing one thing from this list.

I started this back in September 2009 and stopped in the fall of 2010. I decided to revisit it again.

"The group activities of various income levels. The organized and unorganized activities of the various income levels."
   
" The group activities of various income levels."
   
"The effect of the depression in the smaller towns of the United States."
     
  
" Where can people meet?""Street Corners""Poor""Street Corners"
   
" People on and off the job.""How much different do people look and act when they are on the job than when they are off?"
   
"People on and off the job""How much different do people look and act when they are on the job than when they are off?"" This would necessiate some careful camera studies."
     
  
" The photographic study of the difference in the men's and women's world."
   
Backyards"What do you see out of the kitchen window?"
   
FSA Shooting Script 1936"The wall decorations in homes as an index to the different income groups and their reactions."
