Sailor walking by parking lot--Los Angeles c. 1955 - 1956

"Sailor walking by parking lot--Los Angeles" is a black and white photograph by American photographer Robert Frank, taken in 1955-1956. The image captures a sailor walking past a parking lot, dwarfed by the towering buildings of Los Angeles. Frank is known for his candid street photography, which often explores themes of alienation and social commentary. This photograph, part of his iconic book "The Americans," is a powerful example of his work, emphasizing the vastness of urban space and the individuality of the human figure.
