most famous for his photos of the migrants leaving the dust bowl for California

he was the first photographer hired by the Farm Security Administration, the New Deal agency that pioneered the use of photographs and “photo stories” to build public and political support for federal relief programs. https://livingnewdeal.org/rediscovering-arthur-rothsteins-photo-stories/

He was so prolific that I've posted a lot of photos he made, without knowing it
