Robert Frank “The Americans” – a short review

The Met is showing Robert Frank’s seminal work The Americans now through, I think, December 27th. If you’re interested in photography and live in or near New York you owe it to yourself to make it down there to see it.

So I’m back from the West and here are some of the results. By the way, I give Zion an 8 out of 10.  Bryce a 7 out of 10, Antelope Canyon a 6.5 out of 10. and of course the Grand Canyon is a 9 out of 10 but only because I’ve seen it a couple times before.  I had a great time, but am glad to be out from behind the wheel of a car. Now I’ve got to get back to more Drabbles in the coming weeks. Read More
