1. On occasion, Dorothea Lange got photographed

Newscopy: "Here are part of the 660 Japanese leaving San Francisco in the Army's first forceful evacuation in Northern California. They will go by train to Santa Anita, where white-painted stables are being transformed into family apartments.".

Japanese-Americans assemble at control station, 1701 Van Ness Avenue; Dorothea Lange is holding camera in background.



Here's a Pirkle Jones photograph of Dorothea Lange in a store my neighbor's grandfather owned, it's now under a lake:

2. Thanks for posting those

It was my understanding that the stables were hardly emptied out.

3. yes, and that white paint wasn't really paint, it was whitewash

Not only was it cheap, the lime in whitewash helped neutralize odors.
