Springsteen on Frank

I've always wished I could write songs the way he takes pictures.

(Supposedly, Springsteen has multiple copies of Frank's photo book The Americans).

Robert Frank: Criticism

Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love. It is important to see what is invisible to others - perhaps the look of hope or the look of sadness. Also, it is always the instantaneous reaction to oneself that produces a photograph.
