Raoul Hague 9 1962

Robert Frank made "Raoul Hague 9" by exposing and developing a roll of film, and then leaving it for us to see. The whole roll, sprocket holes and all. The physicality of film, the way the images are linked together, is part of the content, right? It makes me think about time, about process, and about the way one image leads to another. I keep coming back to the fourth row. Is that Frank himself, looking out the window of a car? I love the slightly blurred, almost dreamy quality. Frank reminds me a bit of Garry Winogrand, another street photographer who embraced the messy, imperfect aspects of life. Like Winogrand, Frank invites us to see the world as a series of fleeting moments, a constant flow of experience rather than a set of fixed, unchanging realities.
