What were the names of Dorothea Lange's family?

How did Eugène Atget get trained in photography?
None of the biographies of Eugène Atget mention him apprenticing with another photographer, so it appears he was self-taught, most likely from reading books and other publications on the subject of photography.
There were quite a few manuals written in his native French, and his tendency to favor archaic processing techniques (the use of albumin, for example) suggests he was dependent on older written works for instruction.

Why did Diane Arbus commit suicide?
I can not remember the name of the photographer .... but some time ago I got some very, very disturbing pictures via email of Africa in all it's misery. Pictures of starving children picking up grains of rice off a dusty road after the UN food truck has gone by. One picture was of a child with his face buried in a starving cows privets waiting for it to urinate. The last picture was of three vultures following a child as he/ she dragged his/her body through the dirt looking for food. The photographer who captured these images shot himself in NY 6 months after his return from Africa. Diane probably fueled her fascination for the twisted so much that she couldn't stand it in her middle age. Van Gough shot himself in his mid 30's. I'm sure you'll find lots more artists who'd have done the same. These are my unsubstatiated thoughts based purely on gut feel. So take it as that.
What inspired Jim Brandenburg to be a photographer?
Jim's love of photography sparked at a young age. One day while growing up he went out on the prairie with his little camera and saw a fox pup. He quickly hid behind a rock and made some mouse noises until the foxed looked up. At that point he quickly snapped the picture. It turned out amazing and sparked a deep love for photography. To this day the fox picture is still very famous. You can find it for sale at his gallery, The Brandenburg Gallery.
