Summary: Very inspirational
Comment: Great book, not much new to say about it. But I find it fantastically inspirational in that it again show a series of very successful images based in vision and imagery instead of tools and mechanics. For today's photographers its very easy to get trapped in megapixel and the latest lens race.. this is a book shot for images. If you are a photographer or into photography, just buy the book and start enjoying, you will come back to this over and over again.

Summary: Documentary Photography at its best!
Comment: Robert Frank's "The Americans" is a great lesson in documentary photography - the images transport you to the moment, making you part of what is happening, as an observer. Robert Frank even lets the subject realize his presence by direct eye contact, letting the viewer know S/he is also being observed. I like his breaking of symmetry of lines, creating tension in his compositions, making us ask questions, search for answers about the image. A great book!

Summary: The Americans
Comment: Robert Frank is an iconic photographer of American life. For people in their 50's or older it is nostalgic. And for those younger, it is a visual slice of our history. There are many stories here. A good book.
