I didn't know anything about Robert Frank before I read this. It was a grand introduction. Around here, the author is similarly enigmatic to the subject. The article got him a Mirror Award nomination; hopefully he wins some new fans.

It's good reading about Frank- many thanks. I think the article overstates the influence of Walker Evans but hey...
If you like the author's writing you might like his book- http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/01/books/01gitl.html?_r=1&ref=books&oref=slogin
