![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor dining area with several people engaged in different activities. The setting appears to be part of a larger structure, possibly a restaurant or food service facility within a labor camp during the era when such facilities were common for migrant workers.
In the foreground, there's a woman bending over as if she is attending to something on the ground near one of the tables. She wears a long dress and a wide-brimmed hat. Another individual stands nearby, dressed in casual attire with rolled-up sleeves, possibly indicating work-related activity or involvement in food service.
The middle section shows several people seated at different dining tables covered with white tablecloths, suggesting they are eating or waiting to be served. The individuals appear relaxed and engaged in conversation while others seem focused on their meals.
In the background, more structures can be seen under a larger roof supported by metal beams, indicating an open-air pavilion design meant for accommodating multiple groups of diners simultaneously. A few people stand around conversing near other tables or entering/exiting the dining area.

United States government camp for migrant workers (Farm Security Administration-FSA), Westley, California. Pre-fabricated steel shelters replace the use of tents and tent platforms in this newly constructed camp
#UnitedStates #Westley #California #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange
![The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting a row of prefabricated steel shelters. These structures are arranged in an orderly fashion, with each shelter having its own entrance and small attached storage or utility area at the side. The roofs on top appear to be made from corrugated metal sheets, sloping downwards slightly towards the center where they meet above the main body of the structure.
The ground around the shelters appears barren and uneven, suggesting a rural setting with no significant vegetation in immediate proximity. There are some poles sticking out of the ground, likely serving as markers or supports for future structures to be erected on this site.
Above the row of sheds, text is visible at the top edge of the photograph: "J-2109I," which might indicate a cataloging number used by an organization responsible for these shelters. On the left side of the image along with some additional information that reads:
"USDA SUPPLIES BUILDING - J-2108"
This suggests that at least two different numbers are being referenced within this series, possibly referring to various models or types of prefabricated buildings supplied by a government agency for use in specific contexts. The context here is likely related to farm laborers' housing during wartime efforts as indicated from the additional information provided which states:

Untitled photo, possibly related to: Toilet facilities at Westley camp. California
![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural setting, with the focus on several small buildings. In the foreground, there's a modest single-story structure with a gable roof that appears to be made of wood, featuring two visible doors—one facing forward, possibly serving as a main entrance—and one door partially hidden behind it.
Behind this building is another similar wooden shed-like structure, and further back stands an imposing water tower. The ground around the buildings seems barren with patches of dry grass or dirt, indicating that they are in a desert environment or rural area without lush vegetation.
In the background, more structures can be seen at varying distances, suggesting additional facilities within this compound. A clear sky is visible above these buildings, and there's no sign of human activity or movement captured in the scene. The image conveys an air of stillness and emptiness typical of a remote campsite or rural outpost.
A handwritten date "2-1943" appears at the top left corner of the photo, which could indicate when the photograph was taken. There is also text on the right side that reads "[Untitled] - Hilo," possibly indicating the photographer's code for this image within their collection.](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/265/475/573/617/260/original/f779fd4db5680ffa.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural setting, with the focus on several small buildings.

United States government camp for migratory workers (Farm Security Administration-FSA), Westley, California. Pre-fabricated steel shelters replace the use of tents and tent platforms in this newly constructed camp
![The image depicts a black-and-white photograph showing six small, simple structures with pitched roofs aligned in two rows of three. They appear to be temporary housing units for workers or evacuees during the mid-20th century. These are likely part of a larger camp designed by the United States government as depicted from Dorothea Lange's work on farm security administration (FSA). The structures sit on an expanse of barren land with what seems like a dirt field in front, and there is sparse vegetation around them.
In the background, we can see some utility poles and power lines stretching into the distance. There are no visible people or animals within this particular shot. The overall scene has a stark, desolate feel to it, emphasizing isolation and hardship during what appears to be an era of significant migration and displacement in America's agricultural history.
The photograph captures historical context regarding migratory workers' living conditions as part of the Farm Security Administration efforts aimed at documenting rural life in the United States. It is crucial not only for its artistic value but also serves a social purpose by shedding light on the challenges faced during that period, particularly for those displaced or working in agriculture.
