Untitled (Storefront Churches series) 1958 - 1961

This black and white photograph, *Untitled (Storefront Churches series)*, is part of a series of works by Milton Rogovin that document the life and culture of Buffalo, New York in the 1950s and 1960s. Rogovin captured intimate portraits of everyday people within their community, often in settings like storefront churches. This particular image focuses on a woman in a patterned dress, her face partially obscured by a hat and glasses, suggesting a moment of contemplation or prayer. The photograph’s composition, with its emphasis on the woman’s face and the blurred background, creates a sense of closeness and intimacy.
