![The image is a black and white photograph featuring an older man standing against a plain, light background. The subject appears to be middle-aged or elderly with graying hair styled in a slightly wavy manner that recedes at the temples. His eyebrows are thick and his expression is neutral but somewhat stern.
He wears a dark-colored tie loosely knotted around his neck, over an open collar white shirt. Over this outfit, he has on a light gray cardigan sweater, unbuttoned to reveal both his chest hair and part of his abdomen beneath the shirt. The man's posture suggests casualness as one hand appears in his pocket.
The image is labeled with text at the top right corner reading "MJ15 STARTIM A302" which might be a reference number or code related to its cataloguing, possibly by an organization like the Farm Security Administration (FSA) or Guggenheim Foundation. There's also handwritten notation on the negative border: “M1J 8697 - F2” and "A5." The latter likely indicates this photograph is part of a series with a specific identification number.
There are no visible distinctive features that would immediately identify him as Tom Collins, manager of Kern County migrant camp in California. However, the context provided suggests it may be related to his role or work within that capacity during Dorothea Lange's photography project documenting the lives and conditions of migratory workers on America’s western coast.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two children standing in front of what appears to be a temporary or makeshift shelter, possibly made from canvas. The older child, who seems female, stands with her hand on her head as if shielding herself from the sun or wind, wearing a simple dress that reaches mid-calf length. Beside her is another young child, likely male, standing barefoot and appears to be holding something in his hands which he gazes at intently.
The setting suggests an outdoor environment possibly during work-related activities, indicated by their informal attire and the makeshift nature of their surroundings. The presence of numbers on what might be a tent or temporary structure could imply organization or classification within this context. No clear indication of specific locations is provided beyond mentioning 'Nipomo,' which may refer to Nipomo near San Luis Obispo in California.
The photograph captures a moment that seems candid, likely taken during the day given the shadows visible on the ground and under their clothing. The overall condition indicates simplicity or lack thereof, possibly reflecting socioeconomic conditions at the time of its capture.
There's no explicit information about what they are doing beyond standing there; however, considering historical context related to migrant workers in California agricultural regions, it may relate to work-related activities during a harve [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/335/833/716/599/831/original/6e07c6044d2c7912.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph depicting two children standing in front of what appears to be a temporary or makeshift shelter, possibly made from canvas.

![The image is a black and white photograph featuring an older man seated on what appears to be a bench. He has short, graying hair with a serious expression as he looks off into the distance or at something outside of frame.
He's wearing a collared shirt that seems slightly worn, indicating it may have been used for manual labor tasks such as farming. In his lap and in his hands are two white chickens; one is being held close to him while the other rests on its feet near his knee. The man has a gentle demeanor towards the birds.
The background shows part of what looks like wooden panels or fencing, which suggests that this photo was taken outdoors, possibly at an agricultural setting such as a farm or poultry yard.
There are some visible text overlays in white letters across the top and bottom edges of the image, likely indicating copyright information. These include "COPYRIGHT ©1938," suggesting it is from around 1938, along with various symbols that indicate digital manipulation (like "start" and a camera icon). Additionally, there's an alphanumeric code at the very bottom: "6495b860ba25398d90c50706," which could be used for cataloging or referencing purposes.

![The image is a black and white photograph of an older male figure standing outdoors. He wears wide-brimmed hat, which appears to be made from straw or some other light material. The man has stubble on his face that looks well-groomed rather than scruffy.
His attire suggests he's dressed for the work environment; he is wearing a button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves and over it, a jacket fastened at the collar which appears to be made of a heavy fabric suitable for outdoor labor. His jeans are notably frayed around the knees suggesting frequent use or exposure to rough terrain.
The man has his hands tucked into pockets that seem well-worn; they could indicate regular manual work. The ground beneath him is uneven and looks like dirt, possibly indicating an agricultural setting. In the background, there's sparse vegetation which suggests a rural landscape likely indicative of farming land.
There are no other people or identifiable structures in view to provide context for his location beyond being outdoors, perhaps on a farm given the field worker title associated with this image.
The photograph has been framed within another picture frame that contains inscriptions. The visible text indicates it's part of an archive and references someone who is presumably related—implying familial connections through generations possibly reflecting rural labor conditions in California during a historical period, likely between late 1 [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/332/345/939/192/092/original/03e4436f19caaf11.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph of an older male figure standing outdoors.
