Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans

When I was visiting New York city a few weeks ago, I saw this special exhibit at the MET. http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId=%7B1FD57D4D-FE17-41FA-9025-E2667E36AD27%7D


Robert Frank's work was criticized as un-American for his depiction of American life during a road trip across country in 1955...but that wasn't his intention and his photos years later were applauded for their authenticity in capturing American hardships. Here are some of my favorites from his collection, the photos below are truly masterpieces...
