street without robert frank

Yes. Read his obituary in The Times yesterday. Many interesting things about his life I certainly didn't know! Superb shot, Laura!

He had a photography exhibit in our town just last year. His more recent photographs. They were printed on newsprint then destroyed after. I got to see the exhibit.

thanks for the compliment on my photograph. i'm trying to come up with a series 'driving portland' - to give a feel for my city how i know it. it is a work in progress. but i wanted to do something, not an homage, but something about being on the street for Robert Frank.

Great shot, well done.

thanks so much. i am drawn to how street lights become human stars in these evening skies.

A beautiful low-light urban landscape image. I love the colour tones in the sky and especially the sharp and clean silhouettes.

I'm not familiar with Robert Frank..............so thanks for the link - I'll be investigating it later!

thanks so much. we aren't a big sunset city, but enough for the occasional success.

let me know what you think about Robert Frank's photos. unfortunately one can't find his more recent photos - in a different style than the ones from the 50's. but his older ones give an interesting look at the u.s.

Der Tag neigt sich dem Ende. Nur noch das sparsame Licht einer Laterne ist sichtbar.
Eine würdige Erinnerung für Robert Frank.
Danke für Deinen Link, so konnte Arbeiten von ihm kennenlernen.

Freundliche Grüße und eine gute Woche für Dich
Erich

Danke! You are very kind.

Enjoy your week!
peace.

A street without Robert Frank is still Robert Frank...
Nice tribute, Laura ; and thank you for the interesting link.

Bel hommage !
Avez-vous vu "Candy mountain" ?

I don't know who he was but I like this electric night shot.

He was a photographer who was his own man - he is most famous for his book The Americans from the 1950s. He traveled America and photographed all walks of like in a somewhat journalistic style, but with great art. He continued to photograph on the edge of what was considered "the way to photograph" of the times. His work is inspiring. A few of his famous images can be found here: www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/eight-photographers-on-their-favorite-image-from-robert-franks-the-americans

Many thanks for this exhaustive reply RG.

Nice idea!
Oh yes, I've read about Robert Frank recently. He was born in Switzerland, that's why they wrote an obituary in the newspapers probably...

thanks. i got to see a show of his recent photographs a little over a year ago. a local photographic gallery connected with him. the enlarged photographs were printed on newprint type paper so that they wouldn't last - requirement from Frank. he was sad that everyone seemed to not move with him past The Americans book and see his continuing photographic ideas.

Culture has a hard time when people are getting worse. I think culture is an indicator of people's well-being.

merci!

If only I could afford "The Americans." A photographic giant.

Frank had a photography exhibit in Portland just last year - at Blue Sky Gallery. His more recent photographs. They were printed on newsprint then destroyed after. I got to see the exhibit. Would have taken even more time with them than I did if I had known they were going to be destroyed!
