Robert Frank in Pingyao, China
Note: the following photos were taken by a friend of mine with permission to use them to show all the nice people here at RFF. Mean people, go away.


So, Pingyao, China, 2007, september. Great......

Ok, so what you want to see if Robert Frank. I got some photos and said hello and got a hand shake out of it, but my photos are on film and these some of you out there will find more interesting for a reason to be revealed later.

So here are some photos of Robert Frank and a few with Robert Pledge around him




Big celebrity here taking in his public.




I would guess he is used to it though.




Seems happy enough to see everyone.

Robert Frank is obviously the man. The Big Mini is one of the most wonderful ps cameras in the world. Strangely unknown, but takes great pictures. Has a fatal design flaw with a circuit tape that goes through the door hinge and flexes until it breaks.

Not an "F" it is a BM-301 first out in August 1990, with 35mm f3.5 lens.

Thanks for the pictures. But, I am curious about why he went to Pingyao. Was this some kind of event to honor him?

Good call, Pesphoto. Wonder what they will sell for.

Other RF (Robert Frank) news: I just read that Frank's photo "Trolly, New Orleans" sold Wednesday at Christie's Auction for $623,400.
