Three women in hats--Los Angeles 1955 - 1956

This black and white photograph, titled "Three women in hats—Los Angeles" was taken by Robert Frank. I can imagine him walking around with his camera, looking for the right moment, the right light. What do you think he was thinking when he saw these women, all in hats? Maybe he noticed the contrast between them, the way the hats framed their faces, telling their own stories. The graininess of the image adds to the feeling that we are looking at a memory. These women, caught in a moment of time. Frank has a way of making the ordinary feel iconic, don’t you think? Like he’s saying, "Hey, look at this, look at these people living their lives." And that’s the thing about art, isn’t it? It’s about seeing the world in a new way, finding the beauty in the everyday.
