Robert Frank- Alexa

One of the influencers of Diane Arbus was Robert Frank. He took his photos in black and white, as did she, and he influenced her to create beautiful moments in monochrome by snapping people in their natural habitat. Although he took photos of "regular" and ordinary people, she decided to take pictures of those who weren't so ordinary. This picture I found of Robert Frank's was my favorite among the others. I love the flag, I love how the subjects are children, but mostly I love that they are reading about the monumental death of the famous Marilyn Monroe.

and of course, I love that it's black and white
