Adobe church--Las Trampas, New Mexico 1955

"Adobe Church--Las Trampas, New Mexico" is a 1955 photograph by Robert Frank, renowned for his candid and evocative approach to street photography. The image depicts a weathered wooden cross in the foreground, subtly framing a simple adobe church. The photograph's composition, with the cross positioned in the lower left corner, draws the viewer's eye towards the church's imposing facade and its symbolic bell. Frank's work often explores themes of isolation, faith, and the human condition, and this photograph, taken during his iconic "The Americans" project, exemplifies these motifs.
