    Who was Robert Frank?
    Robert Frank was a Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker, born on November 9, 1924, and died on September 9, 2019. He is widely considered as one of the most important and influential photographers of the 20th century.
    Frank first gained recognition for his book "The Americans," which was published in 1958. The book is a collection of photographs that Frank took during his travels across the United States in the mid-1950s. It offers a candid and often critical view of American society and culture, and is now considered a seminal work in the history of photography.

      I think with any art the best way to push its boundaries is to learn everything about that art. Once you have that foundation, then begin to adapt your knowledge into a truly unique style!
      You're doing an amazing job, keep indulging in the foundations and soon people will be studying your unique style as part of their foundational learning process!

We all are foreigners some where and is understood, you are lucky Mexicans will not belittle you or put you down but not only encourage you but support you more than just morally and that coming from a less fortunate people than you makes them wealthier and better. Keep up the good work man

    This is an amazing Series.

    You're totally right about recognizing privilege in photography!! It's so important to understand the power dynamics involved when we take pictures. Your comment also got me thinking about something my anthropology professor once said. They stressed the significance of not reducing people to just their poverty when we document them. It's a challenge, but we should strive to see their complete humanity and the richness of their experiences.

    I love your videos and amazing photos! I recently started trying college and instead of looking at specified photography subjects as forced, I embraced them and used it as an opportunity to shoot out of my comfort zone. It is kind of embarrassing because all of my photos are crap, but I am gaining so much experience and humility from trying to shoot things that I never would have before. I think that forcing yourself to shoot in another photographers style is so beneficial! I might try it on my own, even though I don’t run a channel.
