Back in New York and the “New York School”
He returns to New York and works as a freelance photojournalist for magazines including McCall’s, Vogue and Fortune. Associating with photographers such as Saul Leiter and Diane Arbus, he helps form what Jane Livingston has termed the New York School of photographers of the 1940s and 1950s.

Seven photographs in “The Family of Man”
Edward Steichen includes seven of his photographs, many more than most other contributors, in the world-touring MoMA exhibition The Family of Man, which will be seen by 9 million visitors; they include a woman kissing her swaddled baby, a bowed old woman in Peru, a rheumy-eyed miner in Wales, and six laughing women in the window of the White Tower Hamburger Stand in New York City.
1955–1957
Across America on a Guggenheim Fellowship
Inspired by Jakob Tuggener’s Fabrik, Bill Brandt’s The English at Home and Walker Evans’s American Photographs, and on the recommendation of Evans, Alexey Brodovitch, Alexander Liberman, Edward Steichen and Meyer Schapiro, he secures a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1955 to travel across the United States and photograph all strata of its society, from Detroit and Dearborn to Savannah, Miami Beach and St. Petersburg, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, Reno, Salt Lake City, Butte and Chicago. Over two years of road trips, part of them with his family, he takes 28,000 shots, of which he selects 83 for The Americans.

1957

Meets Jack Kerouac

Shortly after returning to New York he meets the Beat writer Jack Kerouac, by Frank’s account at a New York party where poets and Beatniks were, though by another account Joyce Johnson, Kerouac’s lover at the time, introduced them, and shows him the photographs from his travels. Kerouac immediately says he can write something about these pictures and eventually contributes the introduction to the U.S. edition of The Americans; Frank also becomes a lifelong friend of Allen Ginsberg and one of the main visual artists to document the Beat subculture.
