Robert Frank made this photograph, *Interior of station--Tennessee,* using gelatin silver. Looking at this image, I feel like I’m standing in that very spot in Tennessee. Frank’s photographs have this way of making you feel like you’re right there, breathing the same air as his subjects. The man in the hat, the newspapers piled high, it’s a moment captured, but also a story hinted at. I wonder what Frank was thinking when he snapped this shot. Was he drawn to the geometry of the space, the way the light falls, or was it the quiet solitude of the man that caught his eye? There’s a stillness in this image, a sense of waiting, that resonates with the way other photographers, like Walker Evans, captured the American experience. These artists remind us that creativity isn’t about having all the answers, but about embracing the questions. Their works invite us to bring our own experiences and interpretations to the table, adding our voices to an ongoing conversation.
