I think that both Franks and Count’s photography are powerful visual documents of what went on at the time. Count’s photo made a bigger impact than Franks photo but I think it’s because Franks photos were being viewed as not “pretty” enough rather than the impact that they could have.
Franks photographs captured the reality of life at the time. For some reason his photos were not as accepted as Count’s photos were. To me they are the same, they both document situations between blacks and whites at them time and both of their photos have the power to impact. Franks photo of the Trolley shows a black man sitting behind and a white woman in front; that captures and documents completely the segregation that took place in everyday life at the time. His photos are very natural and not staged just as Count’s photo of Hazel Bryan and Elizabeth Eckford.
