That crazy feeling in America when the sun is hot on the streets and music comes out of the jukebox or from a nearby funeral, that is what Robert Frank has captured in tremendous photographs taken as he traveled on the road around practically forty-eight states in an old used car (on Guggenheim Fellowship) and with agility, mystery, genius, sadness, and strange secrecy of a shadow photographed scenes that have never been seen before on film.

-Jack Keroauc in his introduction to Robert Frank’s The Americans (1958)

I am really excited about the Met’s upcoming Robert Frank exhibit and finally being able to get my hands on Frank’s book of photographs.
