I apologize for being critical but I thought your summation of Luther was a bit misleading and misled. He was angry about indulgences but more critical of church dogma that said God's favor could be bought or earned. And he never wanted to lead a reformation as it became. He had to go into hiding because many of the authority figures of the time wanted him killed. He wrote out of conscience and a search for the truth. I guess the point I see missing here is that Luther was compelled to his writing and though it put him in terrible jeopardy, he couldn't recant and be true to God. He didn't intentionally set up a new church. He wrote to reform the one he cared for.
I was introduced to Dorothea Lange in a college course of B & W Photography. Her exposures left an imprint as a restless senior. The sense of realism made me rethink how ordinary people are treated.
I miss photography that captures an essence of America unseen. She taught me a lot in that semester of taking pictures of rubenesque nudes as part of the curriculum. Dorothea's guests were clothed yet it felt very naked in how emotions were wrought. So Thank You Dorothea Lange from my deepest heart to thee.
