Americas

1. How did this book change photography? Give examples.

 The book changed photography because his photos weren't the same as everyone else. I think it taught people to think outside the box with photographs.  The pictures he took to real American, not just the American Dream.

2. What was Robert Frank doing in photography that was different?

Robert Frank took pictures of people who were not exactly living the 'American Dream." For example, factory worker, transvestites, and black riders on segregated trolley's.

3. Why do you think that the Museum of Modern Art rejected it while younger people caught onto it?

I think the Museum of Modern Art rejected Frank's book because they're set in their ways.  Like now, younger people think a lot different, and except a lot more than older people.  Younger people's minds has room to expand.  Also, I think they didn't approve the perception of America that people get out of the photos.  The only things captured before Robert Frank was what everyone thought American was a should be, not what it actually was.

 
4. Give some examples of the type of photographs that Frank was shooting.

Factory workers, transvestites, and black riders on segregated trolley's.

 I really like this picture people the instruments bell is almost in place of the guys face.  It looks really cool, and the flag in the background reminds me he takes pictures of the legit America.  I think this photographers is really cool

 This picture must have caused kayos! Back his Robert Franks times, a black women holding a white baby was very rare.  I really like how he didn't care what people had to say, because he didn't want to give people the wrong image of America...like everyone else was doing.
