Maybe she looked lonely to him and that gave the picture.image meaning to him. She knows/thinks it was dreaminess. That is what made it meaningful to her. Part of the art of photography, I think maybe, is being able to create an impression and affect people with it. Thanks for sharing. :)Malindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216640104867314717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-7554703726375887342009-09-22T21:08:21.899-04:002009-09-22T21:08:21.899-04:00I just saw the Frank exhibition at the Met today. ...I just saw the Frank exhibition at the Met today. It was incredible! When I saw the elevator photo, I thought of your post and enjoyed thinking of the operator recognizing herself when she saw the photo on view at SFMoMA.

Thank you for the nostalgic story behind the photo by Frank capturing the enigmatic expression and ghost-like reflections of the passengers. I like that the woman did not recognize herself at first and that she traveled from Miami Beach to San Francisco, which is my dream.CHERIEhttps://www.cheriebenderblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-10743699692725874832009-09-19T13:07:56.903-04:002009-09-19T13:07:56.903-04:00I agree with Joe Holmes, what a great picture the ...I agree with Joe Holmes, what a great picture the original is and how the 2009 one lacks of interest/emotion.
