Dropping by today because of a recommendation from the Photographic Eye youtube channel. Sad that Mrs. Thompson and her family did not benefit from the image during their time of need.

This photo was taken during the Depression in 1936, how on Earth do you reckon that Trump had anything to do with it. Seriously, seek medical help.
