Paris 19 1959

Robert Frank's contact sheet, 'Paris 19', shows the raw, unedited process of a photographer in action. It's a collection of moments, a string of potential narratives waiting to be untangled, each frame a study in light and shadow. The texture of this piece isn't just visual; you can almost feel the grain of the film, the stark contrast of the black and white. Look at the frames with the cars – each one slightly different, a dance of people and vehicles frozen in time. There's a real sense of movement, a snapshot of life unfolding, even in its stillness. Frank reminds me a bit of Garry Winogrand. Both were interested in capturing the flux of everyday life, the unposed, the imperfect. This sheet isn't about perfection, it's about process, about seeing and selecting, about the messy, beautiful reality of making art.
