Edwin Locke was employed by Roy Stryker as his assistant at the Farm Security Administration from 1935 to 1937. Principally a writer, Edwin A. Locke would be best characterized as a talented amateur as a photographer, though he held his own with Walker Evans in his photographs of the 1937 flood refugees. Edwin A. Locke was married briefly during the 1940s to Esther Bubley, another of the FSA photographers, and would later be reunited with Stryker on projects for Standard Oil of New Jersey.
