This dissertation explores the photograph as document and examines the viability of family photography as a truth-telling medium. Cases illustrating the problematic nature of the photograph as document help to establish the benefits of using family photography to augment more traditional forms of imagery. From photography's earliest days, family photography has possessed a vitality, personal expressiveness, and ambitious aesthetic sense often lacking in professional work. Family photographs shed light on aspects of our culture that are often neglected by the mass media who tend to concentrate on the dramatic and sensational. Photographers, from the 1930 Farm Security Administration, depicted Oklahomans as poor, struggling, uneducated, yet noble, farmers. Parts of Oklahoma were indeed a dust bowl, and many struggled greatly as farmers. However, there also existed a thriving middle and upper class that went largely ignored by the mass media. Family Camera is included as an integral component of this dissertation. This project contains photographs from two family archives containing images taken in and around Okmulgee, Oklahoma, from 1916 through 1950. The first collection of images was made primarily by my grandfather, Wright Graham Baker ("Pop"). Pop and his wife Velma had four children: William, Joyce, Gilbert, and Beverly. Family Camera integrates interviews with three of their children with photographs to cause an understanding of middle-class life in Oklahoma, primarily in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. The second collection of images contained in Family Camera was made primarily by my great-grandfather, James Gonzales Lyons, and are used to illustrate privileged upper class life in Oklahoma. Photographs by James Lyons, along with dialogue by his daughter, Mary Lyons, and granddaughter, French Baker (previously Aphia French Brown), appear in this document. Subjects represented by the family photographs include work, race relations, death, relationships, and significant moments.
