The Art of the Search

I have searched for the book The Americans by Robert Frank for over a year. Yes, I could have easily bought it online and had it shipped to me, but what is the fun of that?

Every time I stop at a bookshop, I browse. I hunt for the book. The forward is by Jack Kerouac. The work is incredible. I am an amateur and not a great street photographer. Robert Frank captures this world in a way that is so honest. It feels trivial for me to write about this book. Browse your local bookshop. If you don’t buy the book, at least read Kerouac’s introduction.

My search ended at Edgewater Books, a tiny bookshop in the Edgewater Public Market!
