For years I wandered around the city with a beat up Leica M3 (late 1950's/ early 60's) that I had bought off craigslist as one of my biggest purchases to date at the time. I was obsessed with Robert Frank and his seminal book The Americans. I took this photo in Atlantic City and it felt like the same feeling Frank chased in his book. As Jack Kerouac put it , "As american as a picture- the faces don't criticize or editorialize or say anything but 'This is the way we are in real life and if you don't like it I don't know anything about it 'cause I'm living my own life my way.'" I felt like that was a truism for how we all lived during that time.
