I've been meaning to check out the Robert Franks exhibition The Americans, but I guess I went to the wrong museum. I end up at MoMA and there's a small exhibition including some compelling examples of photographer's work funded by the government to scan the States for evidence of public sentiment during the depression. These 2 pics touched me, as I feel the same sentiment on the streets today. We tried, we failed, we quit is both humorous and unsettling - I guess it's just honest. This would be a great assignment today for our eager and earnest artists.
