Research: Narrative and Photography
Robert Frank

His major artist influence, the photographer Walker Evans, by the time The Americans was published in the United States 1958 Frank moved from photography to film making, the film conveyed the quality  of having been thrown together or even improvised. Frank returned to still images creating his second photographic book , The lines of My Hand, in 1972 his work was described as a visual autobiography and consists personal photographs. His created narratives out of constructed images and collages, incorporating words and multiple frames of images that were scratched and distorted on the negatives.

His photographs seems to show what he cares for deeply such as memories of that place and wanting to create a story of why that place was special so he does a series. Obviously this man had a tough past of having to say goodbyes to people he loves or a place he cherishes and having a toy on a looking through window he may have a favourite landscape being making memories with a important person he deeply fonded and the toy may have been from that person.
