Robert Frank of 'The Americans' fame is a good example, I s'pose... He shot with
a simple Leica and went on to be regarded as possibly 'photographer of the
century'...
Master DoP Darius Khondji, ASC has acknowledged his Frank's huge influence on
his career..

"When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they
want to read a line of a poem twice." Robert Frank, LIFE (26 November 1951), p.
21
"Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. That's not quality,
that's a kind of quality. The pictures of Robert Frank might strike someone as
being sloppy - the tone range isn't right and things like that - but they're far
superior to the pictures of Ansel Adams with regard to quality, because the
quality of Ansel Adams, if I may say so, is essentially the quality of a
postcard. But the quality of Robert Frank is a quality that has something to do
with what he's doing, what his mind is. It's not balancing out the sky to the
sand and so forth. It's got to do with intention."
- Elliott Erwitt
