I'm really drawn to "Then and Now" photography, whether it's the depiction of
the decline or gentrification of a neighborhood,
pre/post war photos,
before-and-after disaster images, or just simply the representation of the passage through time, like Steve McCurry's iconic photos of the Afghan woman in National Geographic:
The most chilling (and elegant) stink-eye caught on film.
The juxtaposition of 2 images, illustrating the process of change is fascinating.
Most recently, I came across this Robert Frank photo (left) from
The Americans on
NPR with a recreation of the same pose (right) that I quite like:
Dreary, yet dreamy.
Looking forward to catching the
Robert Frank exhibit at the Met!
