The United States of America is often referred as the great melting pot; a place where people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and plights exist under a single title American. The title is simple; those living in The United States are, by definition, American. And yet, there is lot more to the term American. The word brings about a great deal of sentiment; ardor for some, pride for others, some consider themselves patriots, while some would say the simply live here. American culture is one of singular poignancy and countless connotations.
- A picture is often said to be worth one thousand words; when dealing with American culture, this phrase is an understatement.
- In the photograph, a mass of people fill the top of the frame.
- The composition of the photograph is stark, yet energized. At first glance, the photograph seems to be asymmetrical, for there is a lot going on, throughout the frame, and not all of it is balanced
- The camera placement in this photograph works hand-in-hand with the framing to create a wonderful effect.
- The aesthetic effects created by Robert Frank are, seemingly, quite simplistic. However, they all serve very important and detailed purposes.
