Dodgers and Yankee fans--New York no number 1956

This is Robert Frank's filmstrip, Dodgers and Yankee fans -- New York, no number, and it's just people emerging from a subway. I wonder what it was like for Frank to take this photograph; he walked into that subway, the light was probably terrible, and he took shot after shot after shot, trying to catch just that right moment. It’s funny because when you're taking pictures, you think you're trying to grab reality, but really, you’re just grabbing light. And light is everything. Just look at how Frank has captured it here. He has turned ordinary people into ghosts, emerging from the tunnel into something otherworldly. It's as if Frank sees that they're not just going to a baseball game, but that they're on a pilgrimage. What a photograph like this tells me is that we're all in this together, trying to make sense of this world through the things we love.
