fiftythree: robert frank

two weeks ago, i was lucky enough to have my friend jenn visit me for several days. while she was here, we visited the holocaust museum, torpedo factory (an old torpedo factory converted into dozens of art studios), and walked around old town alexandria. by far, the most interesting thing we did was visit the robert frank exhibit at the national gallery. i am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to ground-breaking photographers, so i had never heard of robert frank until this exhibit. i did, however, recognize several of his photographs. i found his photos riveting. i found most his photos timeless and relatable, especially in this time of economic crisis, as i see sad undertones with a number of his subjects.

thirtythree: new photos

i am so excited! i love the new pictures i have just taken! i have been using my dad's new super duper camera and i think it makes a huge difference in the quality of the photos.
here are some of the new photos i am using for my website. i haven't photo-shopped them yet, but they still look pretty good.
one big thing i have to do, is make sure that the brightness and the background color are the same in all the pictures. i am not sure how to do that without flipping back and forth between photos, but according to my dad you can do that pretty easily.
