Language Me

“Mabou, Nova Scotia, 1977” by Robert Frank

Today’s blog is the above photo by a photographer who’s work continually leaves me speechless.  Robert Frank’s films and especially late photographic work are for me quintessential photograph/graphoto reciprocators.  I still have not uncovered languaging for the above picture which I have spent many an hour gazing at/into/through.  I encourage you to do the same…and please please please add languaging to it as you find some – I’d love to read any and all verbal responses!  Thank you!

A little something extra – a photo of Frank’s I believe must resonate with all writers…

"Fear - No Fear" by Robert Frank

Looking forward to your responses!

“All that is written is fictive” Stephane Mallarme

“It may be that to understand ourselves as fictions, is to understand ourselves as fully as we can” Jeanette Winterson

“Discovery – that is important.  First comes the discovery then follows the work.  And then sometimes something from it remains” -Josef Sudek

 

Par example

One should have a look at Steve Tomasula’s “TOC,” a “new-media” novel that is astonishing in its use of language and image.
