Life works in mysterious ways. Just today I was having a conversation with my friend Ana (you peeps probably know her from her amazing blog
Under the Counter) about photography. It turns out one of her favorite photographers is Robert Frank. Frank was able to remove himself from American society and document it from an outsider's perspective in the post WWII period, an amazing feat. The conversation then progressed to Robert Frank's kick-ass book
The Americans.
It just so happens that I came across an interesting article on NPR later on. Apparently the subject of one of my favorite pictures from
The Americans,
Elevator--Miami Beach 1955, recognized herself in the photograph 50 years later.
You can read NPR's article here. I just thought I'd share this with you guys as a testament to life's pleasant little surprises. Enjoy!
