Frank's work is referred to more by other photogs more than anyone I can think of, and it's hard to fully comprehend how radically he changed the game. He was soooooooooo far ahead of his time.
Some of my faves from the show:



In reading about his past, there is a story about how he worked with Walker Evans on a still life portfolio for Fortune Magazine. They scoured New York and found a bunch of interesting tools to photograph.
It's pretty cool to think of these two working together on an editorial gig. Even more interesting, they worked on the story for 4 days and were paid $10/day. But they spent $70 on the tools. Some things never change.....
