Train windows--New York City no number 1955

Robert Frank shot these frames on film of New Yorkers on trains. Just look at the physical strips of celluloid. Each frame has a different atmosphere, some are dark and moody, others lighter, capturing fragments of life through a train window. I wonder what it was like for Frank, holding the camera, maybe feeling a little like a voyeur, trying to capture something fleeting and real. He’s not just documenting, he’s feeling, composing, framing. The light, the shadows, the gestures of people in transit. It’s a dance between the photographer, the subject, and the city itself. These frames remind me of the work of other photographers who captured slices of city life, like Helen Levitt. It's like a collective conversation about what it means to be human, moving through urban spaces, each artist adding their voice, their perspective, their unique way of seeing.
