I've become quite obsessed with and inspired by the work of Robert Frank lately. I recently shared some of it here when I blogged about an exhibit of his work at a Chelsea gallery. This weekend I went to a show of his work from The Americans and the Black, White and Things collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you're in New York, you should definitely go check out the exhibition.
Also, if you get it in your area, you should check out all of the fantastic photography programs this week on Ovation. Ovation is an arts channel and they currently have a week-long photography event that you cannot miss. If you're in New York and have Time Warner Cable, it's channel 83. They happen to be showing a special on Robert Frank's America that I think is going to be fantastic.
Oh course I am in no way comparing myself to him but I think everyone is inspired by someone or something...Here is some of my work that has been influenced by him - these were all taken in New York City:

I seriously have a crush on the man in photo #5. You could post that photo on a weekly basis and I would be very happy. Haha!
I love the shot of the lady with the cat stroller. I'm intrigued by cat strollers. We don't see many of them here in Western Michigan, but I did see them a handful of times in Portland, Oregon.
I love this series of photos. Again a reminder to do some black and whites. Thanks!

Ok I'm lame so at first I thought...dang that lady is too old to have kids, must be grandkids and then...I looked again and saw the cats. And laughed at myself. A lot.

Compelling photos! What kind of lens do you use?
According to some
essay that A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating photographs is called photography. The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos) "light" and γραφή (graphê) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light. I love the first photo!
Great photos... they are so significant and meaningful. I like black-and-white photos best of all
