![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals, presumably father and son, sitting closely together in what appears to be an impoverished living environment. The older individual has short hair styled upwards on the sides with longer hair at the top of his head, suggesting possible signs of aging or receding hairline. He wears a light-colored button-up shirt that is unbuttoned at the collar.
The younger person seated beside him exhibits dark eyes and reddish-brown hair, appearing somewhat disheveled. This child seems to be wearing a white garment resembling pajamas or casual wear with short sleeves.
They sit in front of rough-hewn wooden walls indicative of makeshift accommodations possibly made from salvaged materials. There is an assortment of objects surrounding them including what appears to be bedding and other personal items strewn about, suggesting minimal space for living comforts.

"We made good money in the cherries this year. From then on we made just beans." Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. Woman in mobile unit of FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting a woman emerging from what appears to be the opening of a tent or mobile unit. She seems contemplative, with her hand resting on her chin as she gazes outward through the draped fabric. The environment suggests an outdoor setting that could possibly relate to temporary living conditions or camps.
The text "D.P.S.F." is visible at the top edge of the image in what appears to be handwriting, which might indicate a reference number for cataloging purposes. In addition, there's another line of handwritten characters beneath it but they are not entirely clear due to the angle and lighting.
The photograph captures an intimate moment with strong emphasis on emotion through its composition and subject matter. The woman is wearing simple clothing that suggests modesty or practicality, possibly indicative of her social status during a time when such conditions were prevalent in certain parts of society.

The enormity of what I’m about to do feels so daunting. The anxiety of the unknown mixes with the excitement of adventure, and it’s hard not to start spiraling.
Maybe it’s biting off way more than I can chew, but I feel driven to at least take this journey as far as I can.
I hit the trailhead tomorrow.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an older male seated on the ground in what appears to be a vast, open field. He wears overalls with multiple pockets, indicating they may contain tools or personal items for his work. His attire suggests he could be engaged in agricultural labor, as indicated by the clothing style common among farmers of that era.
He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and glasses with dark lenses. The man's expression appears contemplative yet solemn, possibly reflecting on something serious or indicative of hard work typical of rural life during his time. His gaze is directed towards the camera, suggesting awareness of being photographed but not posing for it.
In the background, there are no other people visible; only a distant horizon with what could be vegetation and perhaps farmland under an expansive sky, emphasizing isolation often associated with agricultural settings in remote areas like Owyhee County in Malheur County, Oregon. The clear skies suggest fair weather conditions during this time of year.
The photo is labeled "3-PSAIS" at the top right corner, which could be a reference to some internal classification or identification system used by the photographer's studio or archive. The image also hints that it might relate to Mr. Roberts who was likely an FSA (Farm Security Administration) borrower as per the caption provided.

![The image is a black and white photograph of an older man seated in front of a window, with his head resting on one hand while looking away from the camera. He appears contemplative or possibly fatigued. The man wears a light-colored shirt, dark tie, and trousers. In the background, there's a wall-mounted board filled with rows of small labels or names arranged alphabetically by last name in what looks like a filing system used for records management or personnel files.
Various objects are visible around him: a desk holding papers, possibly classified documents; a large plastic bag on his right side that appears to contain personal items such as clothing. A couple more bags and some boxes can be seen near the window sill beside him. The overall setting suggests an office environment with administrative functions being carried out.
The caption "Manager of mobile unit (FSA - Farm Security Administration) on day camp opened in registration tent" implies that this man is associated with rural or agricultural administration, possibly related to managing a temporary field operation by FSA for the registration and documentation of farming operations.

Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! 
This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.
This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.
GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:
https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html
I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling. Thank you again for supporting this work!
