"My photographs are not planned or composed, and I do not anticipate the onlooker will share my viewpoint. However, I feel that if my photograph leaves an image on his mind, something has been accomplished."
- Robert Frank
When I was in the Navy doing photography day in and day out, I thought that it would be my life. I sought out all the input I could. Callie Shell, at the time was the Vice President's Photographer. She was kind enough to look at my portfolio. She told me I should check out Robert Frank's "The Americans." I followed her advice, I checked out the book and every time I go to a book store, I find a copy and thumb through it. I only do photography for fun now, but I still am influenced by her kindness and Robert's images.
