Dorothea Lange’s characteristically concise caption for this image encapsulates not only the subject’s story, but the story of so many Americans whom environmental and economic conditions drove from the Southern and Plains states to California in search of a better life in the 1930s. Farmers, field workers, and laborers made up a mass migration across the continent, and many set out for the fertile San Joaquin Valley, where this image was made. Lange had photographed the valley extensively, primarily documenting cotton farming. But she also connected with many migrants who were passing through.
“I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it.”
—Dorothea LangeThe subject of this photograph is a farmer from Missouri whose quest for a better life was abruptly halted when his car broke down. Lange captures in his eyes not only desperation, but also his dignity and perseverance. Ditched, Stalled, and Stranded has become one of Lange’s most famous images, one that is emblematic of the human toll of the Depression.In 2002 when the United States Postal Service issued a set of stamps devoted to Masters of American Photography, Ditched, Stalled, and Stranded was chosen as the image to represent Lange.
