I read today that Robert Frank shot over 28000 pictures during the 2 years he photographed his ground breaking book "The Americans". Even the greats need to work their tails off for 2 years to produce their work. Of the 28000+ pictures made, 83 were chosen for the book. If you have not viewed this amazing book, a project that questions the American dream and the unquenchable thirst for money, please check it out, I highly recommend it.
