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.

As if the beings of the universe needed another reason not to visit New Mexico.
Quoted: Instead of highlighting New Mexico's picturesque desert landscapes, art galleries or centuries-old culture, a new tourism campaign features drooling, grotesque office workers from outer space chatting about their personal lives.
