As someone who is terrible at editing my own work I feel awe inspired thinking about the time Robert Frank spent shooting “The Americans” versus the time spent editing. Mr. Frank spent parts of 1955 and 1956 making 27,000 photos… and that’s not the crazy part! According to Jeff Rosenheim, curator of The Metropolitan Museum [...]
