My opinion is that any of Robert Frank's 27000 "rejected" photos would be
better than my best. Nevertheless, warm fuzzy:

One of my pieces from the Occupy Wall Street project was accepted in a
group show at the Pacific Art League, and the local newspaper (
https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2019/04/17/pacific-art-leagues-exhibition-celebrates-the-timeless-quality-of-black-and-white-photography
) did an article on it. The author wrote: "Richard Man channels the work of
Robert Frank in "American," a portrait of a man draped with American flags,
which he also holds in his hands. His intense gaze seems to challenge
onlookers to react to his patriotism." High praise indeed....
