When I heard about the passing of Robert Frank, I contacted cinematographer/photographer Edward Lachman for a remembrance on the photographer/filmmaker who died on September 9, in Inverness, Nova Scotia, at the age of 94. Ed also provided me with a contact for Laura Israel, who edited Robert Frank's shorts and Ed's film Life For A Child.

Since the late 1980’s, editor Laura Israel has spent much of her time as editor for legendary photographer Robert Frank. One of photography’s most intriguing and influential voices since the 1950s, Frank has become synonymous with avant-garde photography and filmmaking, and his recent work owes a great debt to the work of Israel, a filmmaker in her own right.

Israel uses this collection of photographs as an introduction into the world,...
