Die Reportage (Reportage) 49-60 1944 - 1946

Robert Frank shot this series of silver gelatin prints of market scenes in Switzerland sometime between 1949 and 1960. I can imagine Robert Frank walking through the market, his camera in hand, becoming one with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. He must have felt like he was really seeing life, not just looking at it. Each photograph is a small window into a specific moment, capturing the vendors and customers in their daily routines. I feel like Frank is inviting me to slow down, to really observe the world around me. He understood that photography isn't just about recording what's there, it's about finding the poetry in the everyday, the beauty in the mundane. In a way, he was making the invisible visible. And now, we get to see it too.
