SF MOMA Interview

Very nice, Damaso. Congratulations on the SF MOMA expsure and thank you for sharing that link. Now I'm enjoying your blog as well.

Best,
Randy
 
I like the video at the end, great explanation of the shot with the people on the bus/train, I had glossed over that one many times without thinking much of it.

Excellent. You brought up some very interesting points regarding Frank being an 'outsider' and having a different vision and style than his contemporaries, which was further reinforced by his use of a 35mm rangefinder. As you also pointed out in the video, he also had an excellent eye for composition.

You should be very proud of The Europeans.
 
Thanks for the comments! I hear the Frank show in SF is great. I saw it in D.C. and am looking forward to seeing it in NYC. If you have a chance, check it out, very inspiring...
 
Damaso,

Thank you. I have been to the Frank show at SFMOMA 3 times. I did not totally appreciate Robert Frank's vision until I read your interview and watched the video.

On an entirely different note: I am quite taken with Andre Kertesz maybe even more so than Cartier-Bresson and others in that era. He was somewhat of a loner and really did not seek out the limelight. What do you think of his work?

Thanks again,

LenH
 
I love Kertesz' work. I don't think one can say Frank was in search of the limelight, if anything he has been rather reclusive. Each of the three photographers you mention leonardosfo made a point of developing their own style, something contemporary photographers would do well to notice. Each spent a great deal of time and energy finding their voice and taking the photographs that best suit them, regardless of what others thought.

That takes a lot of courage!
