What you don't see here are the tens of thousands of shots that didn't work out so well. Look through an unedited roll from someone like Garry Winogrand and you'll feel much better.
- brudgers 6y agoRobert Frank used about 600 rolls of 35mm film to produce the 83 pictures in The Americans. More than 20,000 frames. https://www.nga.gov/features/robert-frank/the-americans-1955-57.html https://www.nga.gov/features/robert-frank/the-americans-1955...
- specialist 6y agoSure. Even if I had the tenacity to shoot 20k photos, I still couldn't pick the handful worth sharing. Because I also lack taste, esthetics, and opinion. For reference, I share 100s of photos of my dog every month. (Swapping baby and puppy pics is a way for friends and family to feel connected.) I'm always surprised by which ones are deemed "really good". My point is that artists do something more that's beyond my understanding.
