Robert Frank America

In the short video about Robert Frank , I seen a amazing photos taken during a drastic time in America history. After WWII, a lot of Americans had a sense of pride. These photos that Frank took gave us an idea of how Americans felt after WWII. His idea was to capture everyone everyday life, however what he ended up capturing really changed the way people saw how they were living. His photos involved couples, race, the way different races were living before the war , and what changed after. One of the most controversial photos to me would be  “Charleston, South Carolina” because this was still a very racist time in American history . Yet, black people were allowed to take care of their kids but weren’t allowed to interact with anything involving white people which made no sense. Frank photos really showed that racism was still real during this time period from the photos on the public bus , or just in everyday stores. Franks photos captured real life scenes that were never manipulated. At one point all of work couldn’t be displayed because of the content of some of them. But now , his work is available for everyone to see inside of the book The Americans. Frank was a great photographer , and his work deserves the recognition it gets.
