Comparing Jason Eskenazi to Robert Frank does him a terrible disservice. Robert Frank, while reputedly "deep," was by comparison a terrible photographer.

Jason Eskenazi ROCKS. He is an amazing photographer. Freakin' crazy

When I wss in my twenties, I visited England for religious reasons and as a vacation, but I came away with an new passion and a complete change in my life. I visited several cathedrals and fell in love with the artistry of the medieval architects. I especialy respected the beauty and elegance and the hint of humanity in Lincoln Minster. I came home, took one class after another in Art History and ended up with a Masters degree and a whole new career as a college instructor. I have since taken students to the UK to share that kind of experience with them.

Met Museum guards are great and helpful and thank you to all of them always.

However, the portrait of the man getting the shoeshine in the bathroom as described by Jason - PLEASE. There are two men in that picture. While the picture may describe the intimacy that Frank had for his subject as Jason suggests, it is presumptuous to think that the one getting the shoeshine is the subject.

Shining a shoe, taking a picture, pissing into a urinal - just a thought.
